In the past, many FOSS proponents would mistakenly apply the "many eyes make bugs shallow" quote to all classes of bugs, in particular security ones. That historically hasn't been true because you need security expertise to find security bugs, it's not democratized in the same way as general classes of bugs.
LLMs have now changed that. This blog post by Thomas Ptacek does a good job of explaining what is going on:

@kyle The price of LLMs in terms of employment is small compared to the environmental impact. Arguments in the vein of employment costs or even more secure systems are specious, because we'll suffer much more under the impacts of the social costs. Use of LLMs is the domain of fools.
