It's the same thing with decompilation and hacking. It's not that a human couldn't find the same bug if they looked, but a human wouldn't even try because of the low probability of success because there are so many places to look.

Part of solving that is that AI can do it faster but another part is humans thinking AI has a higher chance than it actually does, so they put it to work in more places.

I once sent Gemini Pro a hex dump of a dmp file and it told me what the application was doing when it crashed. It seemed surprising, but not that surprising given what I've seen already.
