Is it correct though? I’ve been toying around with ChatGPT for a few weeks now and I encountered a few situations in which ChatGPT was like 90% accurate at best. Things like suggesting snippets of configuration files or plugin research. It’s good to get an idea and get started somewhere, but I certainly cannot trust it blindly.

Are you disagreeing with the deobfuscation that ChatGPT produced?
In my head, this is like asking someone to translate "Hello" into French and then asking them to translate "Bonjour" back to English. It proves nothing about capabilities or usefulness.

#35I have to say, I find all the comments dismissing ChatGPT hilarious. I read them in a funny grandpa voice. However, we should look past the insignificant details. The main achievement is that we now have a really capable unstructured text-to-computer interface. We can hook it up to anything and it will give us answers with whatever properties we desire, in whatever shape we can think of.
Just be happy with plausible sounding answers people. Sheesh!

Note: I broke the disassembly intentionally because when I presented the original disassembly it immediately outputted the/a C program to factorize integers.

I've been using it paired with Ghidra to give me a better idea of what's going on. It helped me create a no-CD crack for an old game.
I've seen a project for battlefield 3 tho already have the feeling it's a team effort at minimum?

According to Alex's own tweet, ChatGPT originally produced the obfuscated code too. In my head, this is like asking someone to translate "Hello" into French and then asking them to translate "Bonjour" back to English. It proves nothing about capabilities or usefulness.
Especially given that the "obfuscated code" is not syntactically valid. Even if you repair the syntax, it contains a number of errors, and eventually descends into gibberish (although some of what it does is not bad!). There is nothing to deobfuscate here.
