Linus Torvalds is fed up with AI usage recently.
In his latest kernel update, Linus Torvalds revealed that the Linux kernel's private security mailing list has become "almost entirely unmanageable"
Why?
Because it is flooded with duplicate bug reports from people running the same AI tools on the same code.
Same bugs. Same day. No fixes. Just endless "pointless churn" for the volunteers keeping your Linux systems secure.
He is blunt (as always):
“AI tools are great, but only if they actually help, rather than cause unnecessary pain.”
This isn't anti-AI, it's anti-slop. Real open source work still needs humans who understand what they're reporting.
What do you think?
Is AI helping or hurting open source right now?
