I've "worked" with Claude Code to find a long standing set of complex bugs over the last couple of days, and it can do so much more. It's come up with hypotheses, tested them, used gdb in batch mode when the hypotheses failed in order to trace what happened at the assembly level, and compared with the asm dump of the code in question.

It still needs guidance, but it quashed bugs yesterday that I've previously spent many days on without finding a solution for.

It can be tricky, but they definitely can be significant aid for even very complex bugs.
