Thanks! In realistic workloads, the differences won’t be orders of magnitude.

I agree that this is a fairly simple problem. Experienced engineers—or anyone who has faced similar challenges—can quickly come up with such solutions. The key point, however, is that others might get stuck in their research simply because they don’t realize these quick solutions exist (“I don’t know what I don’t know”). AI helps bridge that gap by making expert-level knowledge accessible to every researcher, allowing them to focus more on exploring the truly unknown parts.

Except that "AI" steals and mostly does not do citations.

EDIT: The chutzpah of downvoting this is striking. The paper says "surpasses highly optimized algorithms engineered by human experts to achieve a 5.0x speedup" and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45689663 links to a 2024 paper where humans discovered a 4.2x speedup using a snake pattern. The 2024 paper is not cited.

Given that, maybe the submission title should be changed?

this should be the top comment

What "AI" is best at is enabling theft without crediting the true creators

that's true for any application of AI :(
