The folks submitting papers to SIGPLAN and PLDI seem to be the opinion use of AI technology in compilers will only increase merging both approaches, of natural language as frontend, and backends.

I think many that don't follow compilers haven't yet grasp how much there is already there, from machine learning based optimisation passes, JIT compiler heuristics, and so on, which never have been deterministic to start with.
