The Google Threat Intelligence Group wants to increase its relevance and casually point out the it was not Mythos which found the exploit!

Security "researchers" are overpaid buffoons who hype things for their own salaries and their companies. And the stenographers from the press dutifully copy everything.

This is a despicable game to fool politicians into giving money and favorable AI legislation.

Strangely enough these buffoons never offer their models to open source developers. It is always a select group of highly paid other buffoons that throws some very occasional results over the wall.

Can google please use AI to find bugs then?

Software is in such a state now, Gmail is full of bugs around sharing attachments to the position that I have to tell my dad to turn his phone off and on again in order to attach a document

Those are all for security vulnerabilities, OP is talking about bugs with functionality.

It's probably the AI overuse introducing many of those bugs in the first place...

I can’t help but think that, Apple is big on AI and their software seems to be going to hell too.

Apple software was crap long before AI. Most people just were blinded by semitransparent interface (pun intended) and marketing fluff.
