I’ve used AI for some reverse engineering and I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s generally great at breaking obfuscation or understanding raw decompilation.

It’s terrible at confirming prior work, if I label something incorrectly it will use that as if it was gospel.

Having a very clean function with lots of comments and well named functions with a lot of detail that does something completely different will trip it up very easily.

That's funny, sounds like you'd get better results by obfuscating then. (Relative to partially deobfuscated code that might have incorrect names.)
