But it’s not necessary at all, the whole point is that these utility libraries bring you more elegant code that work on all platforms without having to pollute your codebase with SIMD intrinsics.

Unless this was tongue in cheek, because this is in fact a problem with AI that it degrades your codebase in these types of ways.

With AI, I expect it to eventually be good enough for us to finally have 5 GLs, so it won't really matter.
