It's a machine. Won't it be able to read zeros and ones the same way we read english (or whatever our language is)? Won't it simply create code directly in machine langage?

And even now, when asking chatGBT to check code for safety, wouldn't the most secure way to do that be for chatGPT to check the actual machine code? Does anyone know if that is what it currently does (or if it is currently capable of doing)?

Edit-2: AI will solve problems algorithmically and execute the step by step instructions directly into machine code. Translations into python or c or assembler are for humans. While it can obviously do that when requested, when implimenting its generic algorithms, it will create the machine code directly.

The difficult part - the next part - will be AIs's ability to solve problems algorithmically. That requires principles of abstract thought. Converting those algorithms directly into machine code is a trivial and menial task for any computer.

Edit-1: I guess I should have been more clear. I am talking about the time of singularity (or close thereto) - a point in time when AI is fully mature and writing its own full programs - won't it understand binary the same as we understand C or python or Lisp? Those higher languages provide humans with abstractions because humans can't process binary the way a machine can. But those abstractions still ultimately rely upon compilers to translate the code into binary at some final point. AI shouldn't need any such abstractions, right?
