"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I don't believe this is true. Do you have a source for that claim?
Sure, here is the official guidance: https://kernel.org/doc/html//next/process/coding-assistants.html
And here is a search that finds some of the AI commits: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Atorvalds%2Flinux+%22Assisted-by%22&type=commits
And here is an interview with Linus Torvalds, where he says he's a huge believer in AI and explains how it makes work on the kernel easier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-_8YliVS4E
Thank for that. Doesn't seem to be very widespread at present…BTW some of those results in the GH search aren't AI commits, they're either solutions based on a problem found by an AI reviewing tool or the assistant is someone's personal bundle of scripts (aka
gkh_clanker_2000).Source: people are lazy and follow the path of least resistance. History repeats itself, and it is no different for Linux.
Some people are lazy. Other people are not.
