Instead of just getting the down votes, I’ll explain why that wouldnt work.

  1. The AI itself cannot decompile it without the same tools I would use. The AI would then end up with the same starting spot I have.
  2. Current LLMs do not know how to interpret code logic, and would likely make mistakes in Syscalls, register addresses, and instructions.
  3. Assembly languages themselves have nothing further than instruction sets. I’m sure there are ways to organize it in the super rare case of actually writing assembly, but not to the effect of object oriented or functional programming.

Lastly, other comments have pointed out decompiled code is extremely expensive to analyze. The output from whatever we decompile would easily exceed the input limits for all existing LLMs.
