“zsh: illegal hardware instruction python” when Tensorflow on macbook pro M1

Question

I've followed every step of this question

install a venv: python3 -m venv venv. drag the install_venv.sh (which is located within the downloaded folder) file to the terminal, add -p at the end. select the directory of the venv as the location where tensorflow should be installed. activate the venv. type "python". try to import tensorflow: import tensorflow as tf.

I'm running my terminal not rosetta (which was the solution to the other problem): (base) user@useros ~ % uname -m arm64

When I activate my environment I still get: (venv) (base) user@useros ~ % uname -m arm64

If I run file $(which python) I get the following: On base: (base) user@useros ~ % file $(which python) /Users/user/opt/anaconda3/bin/python: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

On venv: (venv) (base) user@useros ~ % file $(which python) /Users/user/venv/bin/python: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

Why do I get 'Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64' here even though I get 'arm64' before? This confuses me and is probably the reason why my code is not working.
