Linux kernel czar says AI bug reports aren’t slop anymore
Summary
The Register interview with Linux kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman discusses a shift in AI-assisted bug reports and reviews from low-quality outputs to more credible, actionable insights. He notes that AI is increasingly used as a reviewer and helper rather than a creator, helping with quicker feedback and patch generation, but also increasing overall review load. The piece highlights open-source tooling like Sashiko and emphasizes that AI remains additive and requires careful integration to avoid overwhelming maintainers.
