I’m not denying that LLMs can be used to improve security research, suggesting that their use is wrong or anything like that.

Humans have used software to research security for a long time. AI driven SAST is clearly going to help improve productivity.

Quantity is a quality.

Humans burned stuff for a very long time now, it's when we started burning coal in mass industrially that the global environmental impacts started stacking up to the point of considerable damage.
