At its current state, I would guess minimal impact. Compared to other areas like frontend, code is more likely bespoke than "boilerplate" (though automated command-line arg processing would be nice!).
Most low-level code is detail-oriented, e.g. caring about zero-bug edge cases. Often, there are very few code examples available online. For example, I often must refer to manuals when writing assembly instructions for specific microcontrollers.
I don't know what was in mind for reverse engineering, but typically this involves understanding the flow of a large program and using logical reasoning. So far, these are some of AI's largest weaknesses. Perhaps it could help quickly understand some smaller code segments?
