I wouldn't call "nice find, care to help us fix that?" extremely hostile. It can be frustrating for open source projects that far more people want a pat on the back for the identification of a problem (be it security, performance, documentation, or anything else) than there are people who have the time and inclination to help resolve the issue (or ability and inclination to fund the project so it can more easily find help if needed). The use of LLM based tools apparently making that pat on the back easier to attain is going to exacerbate that problem for a while at least.

I don’t deal with ffmpeg or C/asm, but there are certainly some 4gl applications that a random patch may cause more problems than it solves. I imagine many researchers would be in that box.
