Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreement (www.tomshardware.com)

They're already enforcing it. PRs are reviewed and bad ones are rejected all the time.

I also want to say that Linus is still the one merging things into the kernel and he is ahm.. opinionated?

It's also probably possible to teach an agent this opinion to help review.

So you're advocating in favor of more AI in more steps of the process?

Not necessarily Big Tech's AI, but "a program" that can automate this part of the PR process. I'm not interested in a program that gives pointless or bad suggestions. I'm interested in a program that can spot pattern X which I always say "this is bad because Y" and print that for me. If it were easy to write a classic program to do this, I would have written it. If that's easy with LLMs, I'd train my local Qwen or whatever to do it. Not a faceless corpo that runs this on gas turbines, poisoning people around them and lying to me abt how much it costs me.
