It has nothing to do with your probability of getting a shiny in general. Everyone has the same chance. All the exploit does is allow people using other methods to cheat to find Pokemon that will be shiny for them. This isn't accurate to how it works, but for a huge oversimplification think of it this way: every wild spawn is generated with a random number attached. If that random number matches the seed for your friendship code, and you encounter that Pokemon, it will be shiny. But the odds of any given seed matching any given Pokemon are always the same (for given global shiny rate, etc). This means that at any given spawn time, there will be some Pokemon, somewhere in the world, that if you could encounter them, would be shiny. This doesn't affect legit play in any way, and it doesn't give you any way to improve your shiny odds.

Although to be honest, ask them if that's cool first. LOL.
