    Torvalds doesn’t want AI-generated submissions to the Linux kernel because

    the AI slop people aren’t going to document their patches as such. That’s such an obvious truism that I don’t understand why anybody even brings up AI slop.

    He’s right, and this should be obvious. I have seen many a conversation between somebody who has filed an AI-generated bug report, and a developer trying to diagnose it, where it’s clear the person who’s filed the bug report has no idea what they’re talking about.

      I can see why people would attempt to abuse a bug bounty program for easy price money, but that’s just another case of greedy people fucking over everyone else by pissing on whatever trust and assumptions of good faith people might still extend to one another.

      lol some of the submissions here are nightmares. The person who submits the AI report also replies back to dev comments and criticisms using LLMs. And after a while, instead of admitting it was wrong it just hallucinates code like changing <= with < and claiming that is the mistake. What an absolute waste of people’s time.
