    If there’s one person in the world I trust to call out AI for being stupid, it’s Linus Torvalds. I think he can handle it.

    Of all things to be tainted by AI, Linux was the one I wanted it to happen to least. He should have just handed it over if he cannot be bothered any more.

    Great. I guess I’ll stay on pre-ai version for as long as possible…

    meh, it’s his toy/joke project, he can break it if he likes. If you don’t like it, then Fork it.

    Torvalds has one of the best takes on AI so far. It’s a useful tool for experienced programmers, that takes care of a lot of the tedious tasks that humans are just not geared for.

    Lets imagine for a second, what programming will be like in 2030. Tell me, do you think there will be less AI assisted code, or more, than there is now?

    And let me ask this: will traditional programming be useless in 2030?

    If the answers are, more and yes, then I understand why one can claim that Torvalds is destroying linux. Otherwise, it’s foolish.

      IMHO it vastly depends on the evolution of AI. If they will gain the ability to understand the context they are in then probably there will be more, else it would still be usefull only to automate simple and repetitive things.
