Any experts on #LLM who can shed some light on this? As we now can use ChatGPT and such to generate code for an entire application/system, why do we have to go through a high level language and not just generate machine code directly?

Given that LLMs are stochastic parrots of their training data, I assume the simple reason is that LLMs have no idea about machine code. Also the output is not reliable enough to omit the human in the loop, so do we really want that?

As opposed to the humans who are strictly logical? ;) I think we're beyond the point where we can claim that humans are superior at writing code. Also, doing this doesn't mean we would exclude testing.
