In our organisation, my security team spend the majority of our effort weeding out unexploitable CVEs - which are the majority of them. But the volume is growing year on year - I don't know how sustainable it's going to be.

Sounds like a good job for AI. I do fear that the future will involve deploying AI do deal with the mountain of slop produced by other AI's.

I agree, this is a trend I'm seeing all over the place with generative AI: first, break a functioning, human-based workflow by flooding it with AI generated content. Blame the persons maintaining the workflow for being the bottleneck and hindering innovation. Then, implement generative AI in the workflow review or approval process to keep up the pace, irrespective of how valuable the extra generated stuff has been.
