As I said, I can write programs in assembly language. I have actually done so, small trivial ones. I'm not a businessman, I'm a programmer. But I use compilers basically all the time because it would be ridiculous not to.
If an AI is able to break something in a way that no human can fix then I suppose that's a sign that AI has exceeded human capabilities. Do you think it's there yet?
“Exceeding human capabilities” is not always a good thing.
But anyway, the compiler analogy doesn’t work. Compilers aren’t statistical machines.
Neither are forklifts. It's an analogy, not exactly the same thing.
Yeah, the forklift analogy doesn’t work either.
