My PhD research is about classifying functions in obfuscated binaries, and when I saw this I immediately wondered if it will make my work obsolete. I suspect obfuscation will give LLMs a hard time for a little while, at least until they start training on obfuscated code. But there is still the issue of whether companies doing this kind of RE want to send their code to OpenAI's servers. If you're reverse engineering in order to determine whether you should sue another company for copyright infringement, you are probably cautious about sharing code in the first place. For this use case there will always be a need for some kind of alternative that you can self-host without sharing your data with another party.
