    Kernel tuning is so challenging that there is an attempt
    to leverage AI to handle it instead of human developers.
    Chinese IT company ByteDance recently presented the results
    of its tests with Linux kernel autotuning, an AI-based
    solution that could liberate human engineers and make
    better tuning decisions by analyzing historical data –
    a task humans often find challenging.

    . . .

    "Liberate" - so you will have more time to spend
    at the unemployment office ........ just sayin' ...

    Alas it is true ... "AI" can track a lot more points
    and conditions over time and be trained to tweak
    the fiddly kernal settings to optimize - likely
    faster and better than humans.

    For MOST operations, that degree of fine-tuning is
    unnecessary. However for BIG biz, some scientific
    apps and giant cluster/distributed setups - yea,
    microseconds DO add up.
