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?

Office software, CAD systems, Web Browsers, the list is long.

Microsoft (famously developing somewhat popular office-like software) seems to be going in the direction of almost forcing developers to use LLMs to assist with coding, at least going by what people are willing to admit publicly and seeing some GitHub activity.

Google (made a small browser or something) also develops their own models, I don't think it's far fetched to imagine there is at least one developer on the Chrome/Chromium team that is trying to dogfood that stuff.

As for Autodesk, I have no idea what they're up to, but corporate IT seems hellbent on killing themselves, not sure Autodesk would do anything differently so they're probably also trying to jam LLMs down their employees throats.

'forcing' anybody to do anything means they don't like doing it, usually because it causes them more work or headache or discomfort.

You know, the exact opposite of what AI providers are claiming it does.
