That might be one outcome, especially for large, expertly-staffed vendors who are already on top of this stuff. My real interest in what happens to the field for vulnerability researchers.

Perhaps a meta evolution, they become experts at writing harnesses and prompts for discovering and patching vulnerabilities in existing code and software. My main interest is, now that we have LLMs, will the software industry move to adopting techniques like formal verification and other perhaps more lax approaches that massively increase the quality of software.
