No tests whatsoever. This isn't getting close to being merged into mainline and it will stay out-of-tree for a long time.

That's even before taking on the brutal linux kernel mailing lists for code review explaining what that C code does which could be riddled with bugs that Claude generated.

No thanks and no deal.

The authors using it. You're implying software created solely to fulfill one persons desires is a bad thing.

This isn't really hype, since in this case it actually built something. They're talking about reasonable uses of "AI", which this is one example of.
