Why do the AI bros even care? Surely you can just make a better gcc with a prompt right, why care about one project disallowing your Thoughtful Contributions?

There was someone claiming they had already AI generated a better GCC that was 10x as fast. A bold claim, but they didn't provide evidence so who knows.
Yeah I highly doubt that claim, if it were true, buddy would be getting a massive signing bonus from OpenAI/Anthropic + endless press noise about it

I would bet my life savings that they're either lying or delusional.

They're just extremely concerned about the wellbeing of the developers who will be left behind in the dust.
It's the GNU/OSS AI bros who are upset. The other AI bros are using LLVM/Clang I expect.

GCC is much less relevant than LLVM in the AI world. NVIDIA's entire CUDA compiler stack is built on LLVM, just like AMD's HIP stack.
