For a subset of bugs, yes. For some others, not really: I've seen LLMs make bogus assumptions about the threat model (in which case, the exploit works but doesn't demonstrate anything useful) or "cheat" by modifying the code to demonstrate a hallucinated issue.

Frontier models, including Mythos, can greatly streamline bug hunting and exploit developments in the hands of a competent security engineer. In the hands of a person with no security experience, they will still mostly waste your time and money.
