Linus seems to be taking a perfectly pragmatic approach, given that AI is not going away short of WW3.

I can imagine some individual sub-system maintainers introducing various AI-roadblocks though.

I also expect this to be increasingly addressed (in general) with model & tooling improvements, giving more weight to higher quality reports and MRs, and more respect for project rules and processes. A mix of soft and hard gates, CLAs, improved early automated bug report & patch reviews and other CI gates.
