Tell me then, was the problem solved, the work done by the LLM?

partially

Was it considered good enough for a mainbranch?

Probably, if it took multiple experts to catch the bug.

Or was it faulty/risky and require highly trained experts to catch? Then flagged, and only put into an experimental branch?

As happens with human code all the time

How many ex-Oracle memory experts do you think are available for this work, in which even Linus didn't catch the race condition?

No idea, at least one.

A competent person like Linus can manage and direct competent code generation, whether that code is generated by an AI or an intern.

Right the guy who failed to catchy the problem in the generated code, will be fine.
