Torvalds: AI Is the New Compiler, Not the New Programmer - “100% of their code Is written by compilers too" (pbxscience.com)

At the Linux Foundation’s Open Source Summit, the Linux creator argued that AI-written code claims are misleading — and warned that a wave of low-quality, AI-generated bug reports is quietly burning out the maintainers who keep open source running.

[...]

Speaking on stage, Torvalds said the framing misses an obvious historical parallel. Compilers have translated essentially all shipped source code into machine code for decades, he noted, yet no engineer describes their software as “compiler-written.” AI, in his view, belongs in the same category — a powerful productivity layer sitting on top of human design and understanding, not a replacement for it.

It is first the web pages title suggestion (see the URL if the link) followed by the title of the article.

And I don't think the first part is awful - it sums up the main idea in few words.

See existing discussion in the technology@lemmy.world post, submitted by somebody else.

Edit: Whether the site-suggested page title in the first part is really a good title is somewhat subjective and therefore debatable. The question is does it sum up precisely a main topic of the article?
