Comprehension of the details of a security standard is necessary for semantically correct and secure implementation of that security standard.
I can't personally fathom how throwing GPT at the problem will improve things, but I can trivially see how it could result in code that looks correct to the author but isn't to anyone who read the spec. Maybe that's a failure of imagination on my part.
Then again, I suppose that's the situation we're already in where well-meaning authors don't think to actually read the specs and so don't actually comprehend any of the details.
