A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.
