> Having the compiler give an error when you mess up is a huge benefit. Shouldn't this be alleviated by the current code generation machines?

  Well yeah, but then you are using code generation, not writing code directly.

    I meant LLMs :-)

      You are trying to say that llm can replace compiler?

        In general, no? But they should help with this part: > Launching kernels manually is an error prone PITA which I believe is the principle reason for CUDA's popularity.

        Why is this even a question, of course they can. Write python code, ask any llm to translate it to C, then compile the C code - if it produces errors or fails to run, ask LLM to fix it. Then take it a step further and ask it produce machine code, and repeat the procedure. Then RL the llm on the above, and you basically have a Python -> Machine code compiler. If you cover every single possible python syntax, every single possible C syntax, every possible standard library call, and all the compiler optimization examples (all of which is a final set), you should get something that is extremely accurate.
