Is AMD Also Outsourcing Driver Development to Artificial Intelligence? FFmpeg Author Is Very Unhappy with "Red" Software
The popular FFmpeg project, a key tool for video processing used by giants like Chrome, VLC, and OBS, has publicly accused AMD engineers of attempting to push code generated by neural networks without proper human review.
The conflict erupted after an AMD employee submitted an update to support the HIP SDK platform on Windows. FFmpeg developer Zhao Zhili noticed oddities in the code: it was overly verbose, contained meaningless comments, and did not meet the project's standards.
Please conduct thorough manual review of all AI-generated code before submission. Neural networks tend to be verbose, and the developer must use their brain to clean up this garbage.
The official FFmpeg social media account went even further, posting a screenshot of the remark with a scathing comment:
Hello, AMD. Our developer is not thrilled with your "AI garbage" patches.
