Nah, LLMs can absolutely do decompilation using tools like Ghidra. I used LLMs to reverse engineer the proprietary codec for my Nikon camera RAW format, and it worked great.

I mean, Nikon is another big software company. I don't see why their code wouldn't end up in the training data either.

Sure, maybe proprietary code from every company is in the training data magically. But it's obvious that the LLM wasn't just regurgitating code that it memorized because it solved the problem iteratively over many days. And LLMs don't work by memorizing things like a database in the first place.
