Can we please stop comparing AI with a compiler?

A compiler takes a programming language as input

float x = 3.1;

Has only one translation into assembly. The programming language is well defined (or it should be). If you try to do

float x = '3.1'; you will get an error

However, the human language is not a programming language. It's open to interpretation "create a variable x and assign it 3.1" is not a well defined programming instruction. Is x a number or a string? If it's a number, what's the precision. Etc.
