Yeah, the difference is that this time an expert uses the tools as it should be. Not regular Joe feeding all the code with a prompt to "find a vulnerability". Even then, this is a coincidence. But this discovery means there exists (maybe) a strategy that can be tried to detect similar exploits.

In the hands of an expert you can get expert level results from tools like ChatGPT. In the hands of a novice you get novice level results. What a succinct way to put that, thanks! You probably saved me a paragraph every time I try to explain such a simple concept.
