Copilot? You mean the AI with terms of service that are in bold and explicit: "for entertainment purposes only"?

Just legal stuff. Making a huge deal of it is dumb
I disagree.
Legal stuff would be Use at your own risk, or answers may not be correct.
This is really strong language.
This seems like an ill-thought-out decision, especially in a landscape where Linux should be differentiating itself from, and not following Windows.
The titular "slop" just means "bad AI generated code is banned" but the definition of "bad" is as vague as Google's "don't be evil." Good luck enforcing it, especially in an open-source project where people's incentives aren't tied to a paycheck.
Title is also inaccurate regarding CoPilot (the Microsoft brand AI tool), as a comment there mentions
says yes to Copilot
Where in the article does it say that?? The only mention of CoPilot is where it talks about LLM-generated code having unverifiable provenance. Reply
AI is here, another tool to use...the correct way. Very reasonable approach from Torvalds.
