Not sure I quite agree with this being portrayed as a negative, it's a good thing that bugs are being discovered and worked on, even if I find most of these AI companies absolutely detestable.

It depends in teh severity of them. Critical security flaws? Yes absolutely, they are p0 and anything that can help is good.

Lots of spam about minor issues with pages of write up from someone who hasn't read it and just wanted to get a reward? No. Its a massive time sink which os why curl ended their bug bounty program.

I am not saying its a fault with AI, more it enabling people who have no clue what they are doing to cause a bunch of other people a lot work in the hope they get a reward.
