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.

Microsoft is dogfooding Copilot in their dotnet/runtime [1] and dotnet/aspnetcore [2] repositories. This is the only time I have seen a company using its own AI Tools transparently. Yes, they label it an experiment, but I am pretty sure it’s mandated use within Microsoft.

I am an “AI skeptic”, so clearly I am biased here. What I am seeing in the repositories is, that Copilot hasn’t made any substantial contributions so far. The PRs, that went through? They often contain very, very detailed feedback, up to the point line by line replacements have been suggested.

The same engineers, that went up stage at “Microsoft Build 2025” to tell how amazing Copilot is and how it made them a 100x developer? They are not using Copilot in any of their PRs.

You said it’s a religion. I’d say it’s a cult. Whatever it is, outside the distortion bubble, this whole thing looks pretty bad to me.
