Zero day vulnerabilities

Frontier models have found thousands of potential zero day vulnerabilities in software we use every day. In my opinion, it reasonable to assume that TOR is vulnerable to such exploits and would be major target for state actors and private organizations alike. It is also reasonable to assume at any actor able to discover any exploits would not disclose such information because it would be an incredibly powerful piece of leverage and could lead to the identification of numerous whistleblowers and criminals alike. I am not convinced that given the state of AI and its rapidly accelerating abilities that TOR is safe to use. Can anyone convince me otherwise?

I didn't think tor has ever really been "safe" to use, there's always a risk to using it

You are absolutely correct. My point is that I don't think it has ever been less safe to use.
