AI programming bots should not generate machine code directly, experts argue

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Some in the AI community are suggesting that AI programming bots should generate machine code directly instead of higher-level languages like Python or Rust. This idea is considered flawed because human-readable languages are designed for maintainability, safety, and efficiency, qualities that would be lost if AI generated machine code. Furthermore, the vast majority of available training data is in high-level languages, and attempting to train AI to compile code directly would likely result in poorer performance than existing compilers. AI

IMPACT Direct machine code generation by AI could lead to less maintainable and more error-prone software.

    Hearing people suggest that clanker AI programming bots should directly produce machine code rather than output human-readable languages like Python or Rust or C. Which is of course a terrible idea. These languages exist to make it easier write safe and efficient code, that's mai…
