No, human language.

Well, they've also been used for code, but that's still designed for humans. I doubt you could use something off the shelf for binaries.

And with machine code, you got to keep track of what's in the stack, CPU registers, ... to make a sense of what the code and the next branch command does. It's completely unalike processing human language. LLMs aren't really set up to do it.

Code is just a high-level human language.

When "AI" grifters talk about "language" they're using the narrowest possible definition: text that can be scraped.
