As far as I understand, the Linux kernel uses LLMs in practice for code review, not for code generation. And they do not replace human review with it, but use it in addition.
Seeking to understand: this type of code review LLM usage is disallowed in the Void project, correct?
You cannot make code reviews or security audits which originated from an LLM?
The rules are cited above. As I read it, you can make code reviews using LLMs.
But:
I don't know about the other guy, but I personally see that as a very slippery slope. You start with human reviewed code. Then the people who know how to code properly disappear after being bogged down with genAI code until they snap, regardless of whether it's 3rd party submitted or code you see being generated to try and help you. Then in comes all sorts of code that looks good because nobody can read and/or understand it.
That's part of my Programmer Replacement Theory. You replace the competent programmers with sloperators and you can waltz in to easily take control over something like open source in general. Triple EEE has never ended and this is just another extension of it, IMO.
Not replacing human reviewers how? If you allow LLM to review it, human reviewers are "freed" to do something else. Soon there will be no new blood in the reviewer's bracket, and the old reviewers will get rusty on their reviewing skill too.
And this does not stop at reviewing. I bet you $50.
It doesn't matter. It was allowed at all. Linux is now as complicit with the slopiverse as X, Meta, Alphabet, Nvidia, and the rest of the bastards.
There are just two stances on this, and Linux has picked one. Either you're in or you're out. There are no more gray areas when the harm is proven and the damage is actively being done. There's the moral choice where you denounce the evil, and there's being evil.
