My take on this is that this is less about AI making it easier and more about the fact that it's no longer a community of people working together to share knowledge. Decompilation was about the journey and understanding, and now it is just about the results and final product and teams aren't needed.

A video game reverse engineering community has shut down because many games can now be trivially reverse engineered and decompiled with AI: "The community aspect of decompilation has been broken." www.404media.co/video-game-r...

The original decomp community was working together to really understand how things were done and how things worked, which is at odds with "get product out quickly". With enough token money, anyone can decomp a game and they don't need to know shit about anything or get help from any other person.
