Official CUDA port and they couldn't even bother with the introductory paragraph.
Okay, I'll try to ignore it and read the docs. Hey a custom IR, this sounds interesti-

I can't take this industry seriously anymore.
- mathisfun123 4mo agoWhat exactly are you upset about? Someone observing that MLIR is extremely complex and dependent on LLVM...?
- awestroke 4mo agoThe quoted writing is AI slop, and OP is reacting to the fact that they did not write even the introductory text themselves (or at least bother to edit out clear AI/slop indicators)
- mathisfun123 4mo ago... Who cares...
- debugnik 4mo agoClearly I.

- aiscoming 4mo agoif they didnt use AI for their webpage people would say "why doesnt NVIDIA write its website and documentation with AI? don't they believe their own story about AI factories and employees managing thousands of agents doing the work for them?" this is exactly on brand dog-fooding I would expect from an AI hyper
- nialv7 4mo agoI think the whole codebase was more or less written by AI...
- segmondy 4mo agothat ship has long sailed, "it no longer matters" saying a codebase, an article was written with AI doesn't mean much, it could be good, it could be bad. folks often say it to generate outrage, but that means nothing. is the codebase great, good, bad, terrible? that's the only thing that matters.
- fwip 4mo agoAnd an LLM-written codebase is strongly correlated with a terrible codebase. So much so, that it's rarely worth your time to seriously evaluate it.
- jaggederest 4mo agoEven as someone who uses a lot of AI, if you can't be bothered to at least give it a prompt like "Go through the documentation and comments in detail and remove any obvious AI shibboleths like emdashes, it's not x it's y, rule-of-three, 'delve', excessive grandiosity and flourishes, boldness, bullet points, etc", you should receive a brisk kick in the rear.
- jameslk 4mo agoI'd be curious to know if there is a list of these "AI shibboleths" somewhere
- jaggederest 4mo agoNot really but they jump right out at you after a few minutes chatting with it. I also asked the AI and it was pretty subjectively accurate, especially if you force it to cross reference with web searches and especially google's ngram corpus (you can readily see that 'delve' and some of the other rhetorical constructs are quite uncommon in human speech)
- argee 4mo agoThey also named it CUDA-oxide, flaunting their ignorance of what Rust lang is named after (fungi, not oxidation).
