What will happen if the Linux kernel starts having AI generated code in it?

    AI code is like alternative medicine, it’s called that when it’s bad and doesn’t work. If it does, it’s just called code. And the issue isn’t using code made by AI, it’s when people who don’t know how to code think the AI does, and blindly do without checking. That’s very unlikely to happen with the Linux kernel, as the entire project is basically just one constant code review where it really doesn’t matter if bad code was written by a human or an AI.

    Even Torvalds has used AI to help with his projects, because it would be kinda silly not to.

      alternative medicine

      Uhhhh… Did you know that most used medications are derived from plant secondary metabolites? Without “alternative medecin” our ancestors wouldn’t be alive, and you and I wouldn’t even be here talking about it.

      Your argumentation falls apart, the moment you realize how powerful and unique mother nature is… You just have to close your eyes, shut down your brain and open your mind and heart.
