Comment on AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming

This article says that the AI-coded Rust rewrite of SQLite ran 2,000 times slower, but the linked source article says it ran more than 20,000 times slower. Muddling up 2,000 and 20,000 seems a bit sloppy for journalism about code performance.

Maybe they were using AI to write it.

  it was actually 200,000 times slower!

The article cited by The Register cites this more detailed analysis in return: blog.katanaquant.com/…/your-llm-doesnt-write-corr…

Performance of the AI-generated version was 20,000 times slower on one specific benchmark, but “only” about 2,000 times slower when averaging over multiple different benchmarks (which is, imo, a better measurement of the code’s quality).

So I suppose The Register pulled from multiple sources (as you should) and just linked to the most top-level of all of them.

  Thanks for that link. It has a lot more detail.
