I think this plugin is not to decompile, but rather to explain decompiled code.
They mention that the AI's decompilation is about as good as Ghidra's (though of course less trustworthy).
The benefit is in explaining the decompiled code, they give an example where the prompt to the AI is something like "here is some code decompiled with ghidra, explain it in detail".
From the article:
"the paraphrase of disassembled or decompiled code into high-level commentary, can be assisted by automated tooling as well.
And this is just what the G-3PO Ghidra script does.
The output of such a tool, of course, would have to be carefully checked. Taking its soundness for granted would be a mistake, just as it would be a mistake to put too much faith in the decompiler. We should trust such a tool, backed as it is by an opaque LLM, far less than we trust decompilers, in fact. Fortunately reverse engineering is the sort of domain where we don’t need to trust much at all. It’s an essentially skeptical craft."
