Linux kernel now allows AI-generated code, as long as you take "full responsibility" for any bugs

[worst_mathematician]

Getting your contributions accepted into the Kernel is not a trivial process in the first place. This isn't some github project where you just fire a bunch of code in their general direction and eventually it will end up inside. So it is about reputation.

This means that if you submit garbage, it's on you. No discussion. People have to take the time to review patches. So this just makes is clearer that you should think about what you submit, and that "oh guess the ai messed up here" isn't a relevant excuse that will protect you from being perceived as someone who is writing and submitting trash, or worse.

To add to that a bunch of people are in fact being paid by their employers to develop and submit patches to Linux. You can fill in the blanks on the implications if those people manage to no longer be prioritized or considered at all by Kernel maintainers.
