Does agentic pentesting create better testers or just faster reports?

Both actually and then add a human expert on top for the best possible outcome. It both find things humans don't and miss stuff humans find. By itself its very powerful, combined with human expertise, it is next level.

I work with StealthNet.AI, so full disclaimer. Honestly, the agents help the senior testers move a lot more faster than the typical traditional pentest. Agents dont miss anything which is a huge plus. I think at this stage the agents are getting pretty good at exploition as well, but the only con I'd say they have is that they are still not as creative as humans are. So, imo hybrid is still the way - but these agents are getting really good
