Yeah, I think most success stories in AI seem to come from ports, or from projects where a deliberate architecture has been laid by humans who understand it, and AI is sprinkling features on top. Adding features and drivers to a Linux distro seems like one of those places where AI is uniquely well positioned to bring value, because the foundation has already been laid.
