Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug, and now LLM critics on Linux face an uncomfortable choice

Guess it’s finally time to go all in on FreeBSD
Maybe get an M2-series Mac and go all-in on Asahi Linux?
Or live the 90s dream with Haiku OS (they just released beta 6)?
The “never ai” list is getting pretty short

That’s still Linux with Torvalds-approved LLM generated code. If you care about avoiding LLM code, all Linux is now poisoned.
If you care about avoiding LLM code, all Linux is now poisoned.
How do you figure that?
Also, Torvalds isn’t reviewing every PR sitting there like, “yes how delicious this AI generated code is! I approve!” Believe it or not, tens of thousands of people run the Linux foundation project, not just him.
And let’s keep our heads squarely on our neck here, and remember what Torvalds actually said:
www.phoronix.comLinus Torvalds Reaffirms That Linux Is Not "Anti-AI" & Not A "Social Warrior" ProjectOvernight Linux creator Linus Torvalds wrote another well crafted message that reaffirms the Linux kernel position of not being against AI and lashing back against some kernel developers that are against AI/LLM usage within the kernel project.Replying to @eurodyne@piefed.world
How do you figure that?
It’s literally spelled out in the submitted article as well as xda-developers.com/linus-torvalds-will-loudly-ign… which is prominently linked from that article. Read first, comment later, don’t downvote others just because you are wrong.
That just explains Torval’s attitude, which I just explained to you first (by the way) but it doesn’t explain your statement that “all of Linux is now poisoned“.
That’s gonna require a substantial amount more proof than a philosophical position taken by Linus Torvalds
(to be clear: I’m pretty anti AI myself, and I don’t agree with Torvalds position, and I’m definitely not arguing in Support of it)

“Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug” <-- literally spelled out in the headline.
1600 commits contain the word “claude” alone: github.com/search?q=repo%3Atorvalds%2Flinux+claud…
It’s so easy to find out, yet you insist that you are right. Hilarious.
The only thing that’s “hilarious“ here is how you’ve interpreted one thing to fit into your perception of another.
On the other hand, I find it rather sad, especially how, in a single sentence, you seem to see several things that just… aren’t there….
And I get the argument that you’re trying to make, but you’re making it very badly.
