You aren't losing Linux

Heya! I just read this post by Dr. Glowcat, and I have some thoughts to share. First of all, I don't like AI. I feel like that's obvious if you take a look at my blog, but I just want to mention it here again, in case this is anyone's first time reading my stuff. Still, I think what the Linux Kernel Team is doing here is the correct decision. Fact is, trying to ban LLM generated contributions is just completely unviable. Yes, you can catch people who suck at programming, and offload all the work to the LLM. Those people would not get their code accepted or reviewed anyways. The Linux kernel has coding standards already. And if the AI-Generated contribution is of good enough quality to pass the scrutiny of maintainers? How exactly are you supposed to know whether or not a human wrote it? Sure, you can mandate that people disclose AI usage. But people can, yknow... Just lie about that. There'd be no way to tell, assuming they do some minor editing and generally understand the things…
