AI's native tongue is essentially machine code, is it not? If everything higher level than this is an abstraction created to simplify things (essentially) for human coders, shouldn't AI excel in creating solid efficient programs from the ground-up, entirely at the lowest level?
Hope that made sense if not read the disclaimer ;p
Or, let’s put this slightly differently… your underlying operating system speaks synapse discharge potentials mediated over chemicals like seratonin, but you’ve learned mainly in English… why don’t you write me a poem in excited hippocampus?
These things don’t think, they don’t understand what they’re doing, and they haven’t got the slightest clue that machine code and, say, Ruby even are related, except through a vague N-dimensional vector that averages over the fact that humans relate the two more than they do butterflies and industrial lubricant.
it does not. You got it backwards. AI doesn't understand "Machine code" and low level abstractions isn't better than high level, pretty much the opposite. AI uses these high level abstractions and can kind of understand it but it definitely cannot understand assembly code.
Edit: (about LLMs) balls on the bin repeat if we like them more, and instead of numbers we put "tokens" on them: pieces of text. Also, the bin gets updated every time you take a ball out. The human can then interpret the text from the balls to form a meaningful message. A significant improvement from geomancy (\s?)
