Short version: AI is not a shortcut to being a Linux programmer and contributor. You still actually need to know how to read/write code and documentation.

Which should be obvious but the hype has brainwashed the masses into thinking they can be overnight successes using AI. 😒

Incompetent buffoons thinking AI makes them an artist, a musician or in this case a programmer. It's about as pathetic as Elon Musk as an individual.
