I agree with a lot of things in this article.

My question is:

If LLM can understand natural languages and convert them to a programming language, why not skip the high level languages and go strait to machine code?

presumably for human verification purposes.

The programming language is an intermediary we humans and the machine can understand. It's better from an audit/explainability perspective.

[ericls]

if the machine can already understand natural languages as shown by gpt, why can't it just let you code and debug in natural languages. Just curious?

Like why can't it just throw compiler errors on your English code?

It can do assembly, which is basically machine code.
