That seems to also miss the intentionality that goes into some things in the kernel as well… I understand now you mean when a feedback of LLMs are improved on. I guess fair enough there, no idea if that will work till we see it. However I think the problem of a Unix-like kernel is a lot less trivial due to the human intentionality that goes into some choices as well as bit-banging optimization.

> human intentionality that goes into some choices

Many choices are made at design time to make the right tradeoffs between complexity, speed, etc.

But with AI-designed things, complexity is no longer an issue as long as the AI understands it, and you no longer need to think too much about speed - just implement 100 different designs and pick the one which does best on a set of benchmarks also designed by the AI.

Current AIs can’t reason about trivial, 2 years old human cognitive things, let alone multi-million lines of code bases.
This is a misguided conclusion, as they are entirely different systems. Don't compare apples and oranges like this or you'll be very disappointed.
