This is a great real-world example of AI-assisted coding: Linus Torvalds just fixed a nasty Linux kernel GPU bug with substantial help from AI.
The bug caused part of Intel Xe GPU compression metadata storage to be incorrectly exposed as usable VRAM, resulting in corrupted page tables and black screens. The eventual fix was basically a one-liner: round_up() → round_down().
Finding it was the hard part: 24 debugging patches and 18 kernel boots. Linus says AI did much of the grunt work, repeatedly adding debug code and analyzing the results as he narrowed down the problem.
The funniest part: the AI repeatedly told him the problem was "impossible and unsolvable" and suggested giving up. Linus kept pushing it until they found the bug.
And then he let the AI write the commit message. 😄
