I would trust Linus Torvalds to use AI to do this because the AI is literally trying to copy him when it writes that code. In that context, he is the training data.

I especially like his most recent use of LLMs.
Specifically as a threat to induce someone else to step up as a maintainer of the debug tool sparse.

Great stuff, especially this part:
But Bart, maybe you’d like a new hobby? Think of all the glory. People stopping you in the streets, asking you whether you’re the sparse maintainer and asking for selfies.
You won’t be a rock star or an astronaut (or a fireman, or a dinosaur, or whatever you dreamt of being when you were a wee tyke), but it’s the closest us geeks will ever get.
