    All it can do is spit back what it has been fed.

    Those who say these things severely underestimate what AI is capable of or will be in short order or just don’t understand how they work and why.

    But setting that aside, I’m not saying we’ll be able to feed AI a raw decompiled firmware and have it spit out a fully functional emulator in an hour.

    But, in the near future we might be able to feed it raw decompiled firmware and it’ll be able to map proprietary undocumented syscalls in a few minutes, that would be a big chunk of work that could take months of not years

    A decent AI model could significantly lower the barrier to entry for emulator development from “A handful of elite hackers and programmers”

      I see you don’t understand what an LLM is, how they operate or comprehend the kind and volume of training data that is required.

        So you do not believe AI will eventually be able to near instantly code anything you desire including an emulator?

          With current models? No. See my points above especially the one about the volume of data required.

          Reverse engineering firmware is extremely niche, even more so for emulation. There are so few examples that current AI models wouldn’t have enough training data to work off of.
