Re:Decompiling 2024: A Year of Resurgance in Decompilation R... by rgovostes on Thursday January 30, 2025 @07:17PM (#42883579)
I disagree with it as a blanket statement. It’s related to the problem of hallucinations in LLMs; sometimes they come up with plausible, misleading bullshit. The user quickly relies on the automatic labeling as a crutch, while exhausting mental effort trying to distinguish the bullshit from the accurate labels. The cryptic symbols do not convey meaning but consequently can’t mislead you.

I don’t reject the whole concept and am bullish on AI-assisted decompilation. But the UX needs to help the user have confidence in the results, just like source code-level static analyzers generate proofs.
