Educated computer nerd here. AI has fundamentally changed how you do CS in industry, it’s completely unavoidable at this point and not using it in some capacity is doing yourself a massive disservice. It’s able to catch edge cases we’d never have caught otherwise. The important part is indeed understanding what it’s doing and keeping contributions organized/concise.
That doesn’t make it any less scary from an ethics and model oversight perspective, but from the perspective of the project it is fundamentally just another tool. Linus appears to feel this way too. Frankly I’d be more concerned if there weren’t people using AI on Linux, especially to validate kernel level security.
