I am not terribly worried. These are some of the most seasoned veteran engineers who have put in their time with hand-tools. They take quality very seriously. Just because Linus has the clankers chasing some performance improvements doesn't mean he's abdicating his stance on quality.

    Yeah, out of any dev on the planet who I would trust with using AI in development, Linus is pretty much the top of the list. He's not going to let any slop code in. It will be good, or it will be tossed, regardless of the source.

    That said, there are still countless environmental and moral issues with AI.

    They are and they do, but I worry about the volume of changes. More chat bots finding more bugs, more patches written by chat bots both means more reviews to be made. Which might be helped by chat bots.
    All that wouldn't be a problem if the chat bots weren't regression-to-the-mean machines.
