AI Coding Assistants — The Linux Kernel documentation

(docs.kernel.org)

So.... now, essentially, Linux cannot be trusted legally. Who knows what code the AIs were training on? It's almost certain that use of AI-generated code will violate someone's copyright.

Good timing, since I've been planning to migrate my main system to OpenBSD. Now I definitely will.

AI can be used productively for code auditing, but vibe coding the Linux kernel seems like a bad idea.

@libreleah Not a fan of LLM code at all, but this is pretty much the most negative interpretation you can have on this.

Still, glad that OpenBSD has a very clear stance against AI/slop code.
