- Praise: LLMs are proving valuable for referencing and debugging assembly code, helping programmers find bugs that would take ages to spot otherwise.
- Praise: The discussion highlights the enduring value of hands-on assembly coding, emphasizing the need for mastery and understanding that LLMs can't fully replicate.
- Concern: Many commenters are doubtful about LLMs providing accurate, context-specific assembly code, fearing they might generate slower or incorrect solutions.
- Concern: There's skepticism that LLMs can truly grasp the nuances of low-level programming, as they often confuse plausible explanations with genuine understanding.
