Bad actors submitting garbage code aren't going to read the documentation anyway, so the kernel should focus on holding human developers accountable rather than trying to police the software they run on their local machines.

Torvalds and the maintainers are acknowledging reality: developers are going to use AI tools to code faster, and trying to ban them is like trying to ban a specific brand of keyboard.
The author should elaborate on how exactly AI is like "a specific brand of keyboard". Last I checked a keyboard only enters what I type, without hallucinating 50 extra pages. And if AI, a tool that generates content, is like "a specific brand of keyboard", does that mean my brain is also a "specific brand of keyboard"?
I get their point. If you want to create good code by having AI create bad code and then spending twice the time to fix it, feel free to do that. But I'm in favor of a complete ban.
