I feel like there are two things

  1. People with limited knowledge using AI to achieve things that they personally aren't able to do
  2. People with knowledge using AI to achieve things human brains can't do

I'm not smart enough to know which one of these actually applies in this situation, but I feel that they are distinctly different and justify a use case. My layman understanding is reverse engineering software like this is completely not feasible with just sheer human willpower

If you are informed on this subject please enlighten me which of these apply if any

    This would likely have been a multi-year effort if done manually by experts on hobby time, and impossible if the person using AI didn't know what they were doing.

    The LLM would have gotten stuck for sure without proper guidance.

    For technically impressive things you just need to level up as a human. AI can help find information to accelerate that a bit.

    Reverse engineering is not hard, just tedious. That is why AI is perfect for it. It won't get bored.
