Deeply flawed paper for several reasons:

* Small data set of 2 runs (!!)

* Exaggerated claims (saying A1 beat 50% of testers, yet only 4/10 testers found LESS vulns than A1, and A1 had a nearly 50% false positive rate)

* AI agents were given 16 hours while human testers were given 10

* Their human testers gave up when a modern browser refused to open a webpage with weak TLS ciphers so....clearly not professional testers unless the bar is REALLY low these days

Thank you for not misleading readers with your title in order to get views and points.

Exactly the points I wanted to make. The article is vague at best and no statistical evidence is presented anywhere.
