Didn't he say it's okay to submit AI slop code "as long as submitters take responsibility"? Didn't he also say AI writes better code than him?

If this wasn't an invitation to submit slop code PRs, I don't know what it was.

You asked for it and now you have it.

A completely false and reductionist interpretation of what he said.

Unless I'm mistaken, he said that about Python. He doesn't usually write Python, see the commit message here: torvalds/AudioNoise@4e524250.
