If there's one person in the world I trust to call out AI for being stupid, it's Linus Torvalds. I think he can handle it.

Of all things to be tainted by AI, Linux was the one I wanted it to happen to least. He should have just handed it over if he cannot be bothered any more.
I can't tell if sarcasm or stupid
Great. I guess I'll stay on pre-ai version for as long as possible..
Curious why this is so downvoted? Is it not a reliable report? Are people just confused and down voting news they don't like? For news posts downvotes work best to help prevent us from clicking into garbage low quality news links that waste our time. This is something I don't like but want to know about!

meh, it's his toy/joke project, he can break it if he likes. If you don't like it, then Fork it.
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.

We need distinguish between master programmers who can evaluate AI-generated code and submit it for proper review, and first year interns being told to add 45 features to Friday's update.

Destroying Linux how exactly?
