Linux draws a line on AI coding

The Linux kernel community has agreed on standards for handling AI-generated code.

The key point is that tools like Copilot themselves are allowed, but low-quality AI slop will not be accepted.

It also reaffirmed the principle that when problems arise in code, humans, not the tools, bear responsibility.

After a long debate, this is the direction Torvalds and the maintainers settled on, making clear that in kernel development, the quality of the output and the responsibility for verification matter more than the use of AI-assisted tools.
