Linus once more states that AI is just a tool:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-%3Dwi4zC%2BZe8e%2Bp3tMv8TtG_80KzsZ1syL9anBtmEh5Z40vg@mail.gmail.com/
"" #Linux [the #kernel] is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.
Or just walk away.
AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.
It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.
There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. […]""

@kernellogger@hachyderm.io "clearly" really differs from case to case. Linus have seen push backs on his positions in the past. So we will see.

@kernellogger@hachyderm.io and he still dislikes mindless AI patches. Quote: If you submit it you own it.
