The first programs were written in binary/hexadecimal, and only later did we invent coding languages to convert between human readable code and binary machine code.
So why can’t we just do the same thing in reverse? I hear a lot about devices from audio streaming to footware rendered useless by abandonware. Couldn’t a very smart person (or AI) just take the existing program and turn it into code?
Thanks. I was thinking that you could have an AI “looking over the shoulder” of a compiler, seeing what comes out for the code going in to it. Basically training it to spot sequences in compiled code in order to guess the instructions that compiled into that code.
