But with respect Linus is talking about AI for code generation, bug finding etc. For that purpose specifically AI is remarkably efficient at converting intent into workable code.
If it weren't because the most popular models achieve that by stealing code and promoting massive numbers of developers losing their livelihood. Ignoring the ethics of the technology is very telling. Stallman has always been the ideas man. Linus is an architect and very shortsighted about the wider cultural picture.
My comment is unable to simultaneously address “it’s a slop generator” and “it’s highly effective at writing code because it’s stolen other developers hard work”.
I was merely addressing the “AI is slop” by saying “for code AI is not slop”.
