As a security professional who makes most of my money from helping companies recover from vibe coded tragedies this puts Looney Toons style dollar signs in my eyes.

Please continue.

Are LLMs better or worse at security than a team full of fresh graduates?

Far far far far worse.

In my experience, LLMs do not make a lot of the security mistakes most developers do, just because it is aware of their existence while most devs just are not. But then they could also make the mistake at some point, and the vibe coder guiding it might not catch it... Do you have any examples? I find this really interesting.

LLMs aren’t aware of anything - that’s pareidolia of intelligence – but they hopefully have been trained on code which has more secure than insecure code. That’ll help with some classes of problem like using string operations to make database queries but it does have the cost that people might not review it as deeply for more subtle problems.
