An extremely reasonable opinion, to say the least. Anyone who keeps bashing LLMs in plain 2026 is just reacting very emotionally to a technology that is uttermost efficient at automating almost about everything. "I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.Linux 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. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer workloads and just from a "it keeps finding embarrassing bugs" standpoint.But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.The solution is to make sure those LLM tools help maintainers instead of just causing them pain. There's no question on that side."phoronix.com/news/Linux-Is-Not#AI #GenerativeAI #LLMs #Programming #Linux #SoftwareDevelopment
