Just had a "software engineer specializing on full stack AI/ML development" show up in the ngscopeclient dev chat, give like two lines of what looked like human generated feedback on the CI/build setup, then descend into AI slop completely misunderstanding the infrastructure.

What is the world coming to...

@azonenberg I can't wait for AI generated scope traces. Just what I need 😅

@Lunaphied We already had someone suggest ML based classifiers for identifying unknown signals which... might actually be something ML could be decent at.

But I expect a heuristic based decision tree would be much faster and more efficient

@azonenberg its probably a combination approach that works best but at least that's something reasonable.

@azonenberg @Lunaphied I’m pretty sure I recently saw that being sold as a product for military purposes

@jaseg @Lunaphied ML classifiers of over the air radio (and probably sonar) signals are common place in military circles.

Being able to land a probe on an unknown signal that could be anything from wifi to I2C and identify it is not something I am aware of existing as a product, but would be cool to have eventually for RE purposes.

Like, I'd recognize SATA a mile off just from a waveform trace but most people wouldn't

@jaseg @Lunaphied most of the currently deployed applications for the tech I know of are generally SIGINT adjacent though

@jaseg @Lunaphied https://aaronia.com/en/products/software/rtsa-software these guys claim to have a bunch of real time classifier and demodulation tools for example

@azonenberg @Lunaphied if not that, surely there are quite a lot of problems in that space that have linear decision boundaries and would be amenable to a less-clumsy approach than statistics(big)
