The tools work, yes. This used to be up for debate until recently, but now it's clear that AI can enhance contributor *and* maintainer productivity in the kernel if used correctly. 2. On the other hand, it is also true that LLMs and derived tools are a comprehensive manifestation of the problems of the industry and there are valid ethical concerns regarding access discrimination, copyright, workload externalization, job loss, etc. 3. However, a "no AI used" policy is unenforcible. Many people would use these tools regardless without announcing it, which is the worse outcome. If we're transparent about our AI usage, then at least everyone is aware and can treat the affected code with the right level of scrutiny. 4. Moreover, a "no AI used" policy isn't the best thing to do technically, as AI has proven to be very useful to catch bugs, review code, and even write some new code. Some critical bugs that we could've caught with AI *will* slip under the radar if we refuse to use those tools, while bad actors will gladly use the newest models to find exploits. Overall, even though I've been known as a great AI skeptic in the past, I'm with Linus on this issue. *Accepting and embracing AI may not be a desirable thing to do, but the alternative is even worse.* - August
