But even for an AI, using assembly or going directly to machine code, would mean extra work for the AI. And it increases the risk of bugs. You have to be very careful when programming assembly. And I don't think an AI understands that well enough to actually work.

I'm breaking into cold sweats at the thought of reviewing LLM generated assembly language.

    Yes, that should absolutely only be used for tight loops, that need to be as optimized as possible.
    But LLM is probably already used to make compilers. So we may already have lots of AI generated assembly. 😱
