Because the computer in this case is relying on a vast repository of human knowledge encoded in these languages to go from 1 to 3. Machine code was probably not in the training set.

Would be interesting if you could train a GPT-N model to be a compiler somehow.

True of GTP and other LLMs, but an AI trained on machine code could simply output machine code. The difficulty would be that it wouldn’t then understand natural language prompts.

Why not have it be human readable as well? Good to be redundant. They can automate the compilation, and we can't always rely on the machine
