Linus Torvalds submits first LLM-assisted patch series

Original: Linus Torvalds's first LLM-assisted patch series

Linux creator Linus Torvalds has submitted his first patch series written with assistance from a large language model, as reported by LWN. The move is drawing attention because Torvalds has previously been openly skeptical of AI-generated code, so his own use of an LLM in the kernel development process is being read as a notable shift in attitude.

Why now: Torvalds has long criticized AI-written code, so his own use of an LLM for a kernel patch is a surprising reversal people are discussing
