I'd like to hear from Linux kernel developers. There is no significant software that has been written (plagiarized) by "AI". Why not ask the actual experts who deliver instead of talk?

This whole thing is a religion.

What counts as "significant software"? Only kernels I guess?

Can you point to any significant open source software that has any kind of significant AI contributions?

As an actual open source developer I'm not seeing anything. I am getting bogus pull requests full of AI slop that are causing problems though.

No, but I haven't looked. Can you?

As an actual open source developer too, I do get some value from replacing search engine usage with LLMs that can do the searching and collation for me, as long as they have references I can use for diving deeper, they certainly accelerate my own workflow. But I don't do "vibe-coding" or use any LLM-connected editors, just my own written software that is mostly various CLIs and chat-like UIs.
