Torvalds has one of the best takes on AI so far. It's a useful tool for experienced programmers, that takes care of a lot of the tedious tasks that humans are just not geared for.

Lets imagine for a second, what programming will be like in 2030. Tell me, do you think there will be less AI assisted code, or more, than there is now?

And let me ask this: will traditional programming be useless in 2030?

If the answers are, more and yes, then I understand why one can claim that Torvalds is destroying linux. Otherwise, it's foolish.
