Subheadline: "Kernel maintainers stop asking who used AI, as long as the code is good"

[EDIT] Seems like a sensible position amid the storm of hype and doomerism, if you ask me.

Misses the point.

>I can handle the black tar heroin, but everyone else who can't should stay away from me, and stop making me deal with the inevitable consequences of their rampant misuse; but oh, please, don't take away my heroin.

This is what every AI user type sounds like to me these days. Sometimes, the downsides at macro outweigh the upsides in the micro.

In short, just because it works for you doesn't mean there isn't cause for concern, and if you're willing to make everyone else suffer for you to get a sliver more convenience, you're the one in the wrong.
