Can AI Bypass Compilers? Evaluating the Feasibility of Prompt-to-Binary Systems

This article explores the idea of AI generating executable binaries directly from prompts, bypassing traditional programming and compilation workflows. While the approach could reduce code bloat and complexity introduced by human-centric design patterns, it raises serious concerns around transparency, verification, and trust. The author argues that while feasible in certain domains, prompt-to-binary systems risk turning software into opaque black boxes, making validation and debugging significantly harder.
