It's a utopia at this point.

I wrote a book in its spirit in 2012 with a second edition in 2022: http://t3x.org/reload/

It is called Practical Compiler Construction. The Compiler Writing Journey is based on it.

I see. Most of the things you list I think I could do better on my own. The case of X from industry Y sounds interesting, but I would still prefer to hear from a real human being from industry Z. If no one is available, of course, a statistical model may indeed be helpful -- I still do not think it is worth boiling the oceans, though. :)

I use a spell checker to catch typos. Occasional quirky grammar is mine. Feedback will be provided by the audience. Why would I let a statistical model judge my work? This is how you kill originality.

What I write is pretty niche anyway (compilers, LISP, buddhism, advaita), so I do not think AI will cause much trouble. Google ranking small websites into oblivion, though, I do notice that!

> It's not so much that I think people have used AI, but that I know they have with a high degree of certainty, and this certainty is converging to 100%, simply because there is no way it will not. If you write regularly and you're not using AI, you simply cannot keep up with the competition.

I am writing regularly and I will never use AI. In fact I am working on a 400+ pages book right now and it does not contain a single character that I have not come up with and typed myself. Something like pride in craftmanship does exist.

If you like books that are light on theory, I might add:

Practical Compiler Construction (http://t3x.org/reload/index.html)

Write your own Compiler (http://t3x.org/t3x/book.html)

Both written by me.
