Can I ask what the deal is with the downvotes on my parent post? I made the claim that strong AI can solve the decompilation problem, noting that humans - an example of strong AI (well, except we're not artificial...) - can and do decompile successfully, giving geohots (a pre-eminent cracker) as an example. What more do people want???
- grav1tas 15y agoI don't think you connected your arguments very well. Just because a human can do something doesn't mean that AI's are the best solution to the task. I'm not sure how your specific example plays to the general case. Both AIs and Humans both attempt to ape some fundamental truism or formalism about logic to compile and decompile programs. To me, it's better off knowing what those formalisms are than aping them with intelligent behavior, though finding formalisms is hard so sometimes we make do.
