Is the point that you're making that it only found the vulnerabilities because they were in the training set, and therefore AI didn't really "find" them?
If so, I fear you're making the opposite point, which is that AI made genuinely new discoveries that were not in its training set, about codebases that were in its training set. It quite literally expanded the horizon of what we know.
Neither, I'm trying to assert that AI generated code would follow the (flawed) pattern we encoded in it. I think they're great for cyber stuff
That assumes AI isn't used to review AI code. As it turns out that AI is great at finding vulnerabilities.

If it can find flaws in human generated code why not find flaws in self generated code as well?
