I've spent years playing with BWT and suffix sorting at school (some work can be found be names of archon and dark). It's a beautiful domain to learn!

Now I'm wondering: in the era of software 2.0, everything is figured out by AI. What are the chances AI would discover this algorithm at all?

No need to speculate about this algorithm in particular. It's been a few years since every programmer has had access to LLMs (that's a huge sample size!). Some LLMs are even branded as 'Research'. Plus they never get tired like humans do. We should be swimming in algorithms like this.
