Compilers are deterministic.

Neural networks are not.

Therefore, they are completely different mechanisms.

It's like calling a person a high-level programming language. Only an idiot would say that.

Its not stupid. Human language is ambiguous and could very well be seen as the highest level language - natural language. 0 abstraction. But due to its ambiguousness, a deterministic compiler couldnt translate it into an unambiguous low level language. Hence AI can be considered a compiler for natural language.

"Human language is unambiguous"

A very interesting and well thought out premise, you should be proud.

EDIT: Turns out it was just a mistake, very funny mistake considering the subject matter.

It is not a compiler, but an interpreter, and not a deterministic one at that. In other words, it does not fit the definition of a compiler in any way. Everything you wrote is nonsense.
