Although I love the new era of LLM assisted reverse engineering, it really breaks my heart how much it negatively affect veterans in their area of passion.
This idea that if you want recognition for your work you aren't passionate is literally insane. Humans are social creatures by nature, the two aren't in any way exclusive.
This is nothing like that. The disillusionment comes from imposters getting more attention and credit than the real thing. These shitty projects are nowhere near being superior to what a human can do, and most of them are blatantly lying and exaggerating their accomplishments. ie. dozens of "no emulator recompilations" that are actually just embedding an emulator into a binary with the game, and people are too fucking stupid to check and upvote it to the top of HN because we all love a good fraud here.

So was it really a passion project if it affects them anyhow? It's like saying that concept of dynamite fishing affects passionate anglers.
I don't see why it wouldn't, passion does not exists in a vacuum.
So it's about visibility and not passion?

Well if dynamite fishers show up in your favorite fishing spot you might want to consider moving somewhere else at least.

As I said before [1] we are all Lee Sedol.
