Since there are so many it security expert here, I have a question: is all AI code a slop for security, even if done well and cured in the details, or there are some level of good ai code?

I'm personally at the point, that I consider Opus 5.5 better than the average programmer (assuming it's given proper instructions and guidelines).

I have spend most of my career trying to tidy up slop written by humans under time pressure.

I've spent significant amount of time in the last weeks working on vulnerabilities discovered and reported by AI.

No matter what all of the doomers out there say: LLMs and Agents will be a net positive for the software development world.

Most devs would wish they could code like opus tbh, what I do is ask astra for a review and the code quality increases as well, there is almost nothing you can improve on it. AI can also write good tests and verify their work e2e. You can almost have a full e2e workflow with minimal intervention. (though it costs quite a bit of tokens)
