Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code?
riskable@programming.dev 17 hours agoTo add to this: It’s much more likely that AI will be used to improve compilers—not replace them.
Aside: AI is so damned slow already. Imagine AI compiler times… Yeesh!

Strong doubt that AI would be useful for producing improved compilers. That’s a task that would require extremely detailed understanding of logical edge cases of a given language to machine code translation. By definition, no content exists that can be useful for training in that context. AIs will certainly try to help, because they are people pleasing machines. But I can’t see them being actually useful.

I agree but I would clarify that this is true for the current gen of LLMs. AI is much broader subject.
