An Instant Favorite on My Bookshelf

I approached this book as someone relatively new to webgpu and wgsl and graphics and compute and shader and visualization and ai, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I grasped the concepts around webgpu, wgsl, graphics, compute, shader, visualization, ai. WGSL Fundamentals: WebGPU Shader Language - Graphics and Compute Shaders for Interactive Graphics, Simulations, 2D/3D Meshes, Fractals, Procedural Generation and Animation Applications has a gift for explaining complex ideas clearly without oversimplifying. The exercises at the end of each chapter were invaluable for reinforcing the material. It's rare to find a book that serves both as an introduction and a reference work, but this one does so admirably. From the moment I started reading, I could tell this book was different. With over 3 years immersed in webgpu and wgsl and graphics and compute and shader and visualization and ai, I've seen my fair share of texts on webgpu, wgsl, graphics, compute, shader, visualization, ai, but WGSL Fundamentals: WebGPU Shader Language - Graphics and Compute Shaders for Interactive Graphics, Simulations, 2D/3D Meshes, Fractals, Procedural Generation and Animation Applications's approach is refreshingly original. The discussion on webgpu challenged my assumptions and offered a new lens through which to view the subject.

I'm curious - do you think the treatment of ai was intentional or more of a byproduct of the narrative?

I'm curious how others interpreted the author's stance on shader - it seemed nuanced but open to multiple readings.
