Considering AI is trained on the average human experience, I have a hard time believing it would be able to make any significant difference in this area. The best experience I’ve had debugging at this level was using Microsoft’s time travel debugger which allows stepping forward and back.


You should try AI sometime. It's quite good, and can do things (like "analyze these 10000 functions and summarize what you found out about how this binary works, including adding comments everywhere) that individual humans do not scale to.


George Hotz's Qira is a timeless debugger; worth checking out too!


It can analyze a crash dump in 2 seconds, that could take hours for an experienced developer, or impossible for the "average human".

That's not how averages work :)


Yes, but we all understood the essence of what he meant and he's right. Why be a stickler about it.

Is it brigading if people just have the opinion that AI can do well at software?


Only half of them.


Median


Human intelligence roughly follows a normal distribution where the median is the same as the mean. In that sense OP was correct that half of the population are below average.
