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.
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.
