This is part of it but the models are REALLY good at reverse engineering. With the Bluetooth printer I was trying to get to work without a vendor app, it built a python app to handle protocol encode/decode and poking the device, and it reversed the driver provided by the vendor to figure out how the vendor was using the device, and so forth. Wi to the LoRa devices we set up an SDR to intercept the signal, did scanning until we found the device, but ultimately failed because we didn’t know the signal hopping algorithm. I have also reversed a Bluetooth peripheral with Claude to figure out how the vendor was setting the device settings, and was able to get the device to work without the vendor software. That was wild- Apple Developer has a profile you can download and install that will give you monitor access to the Bluetooth stack; it was amazing.

So I use AI for exactly what Simon’s post discusses, and am thrilled to be able to rid myself of crap software written by device vendors, and make the devices work without my stuff.
