And there is the following critical advantage: you decouple your code from any compilers. Some compilers are sane of course, and their devs are doing an amazing job (look at cproc/qbe/etc), unfortunately the mainstream ones are c++ abominations (gcc and clang/llvm) which we should depart from.

If all this AI thingy is true, the decompiling and recompiling directly from the machine code is a sort of proof that what's the most important is the data model. Additionnaly, when I get into some software which I did not write, I must focus on this data model in order to understand it, and guess what, the direct memory one from 'human' assembly/C is usually much better than those giga-convoluted object oriented abstracted ones (I think the worst one was llvm, usually everything c++ is).

Some are generating "human" assembly code for their everyday software (I am following some of those projects I found here, on HN). Again, if all that is true, the killer feature: you could generate "human" assembly for several ISAs fitting one data model, for instance the IP UNlocked RISC-V (vectorized or not)!
