Torvalds doesn’t want AI-generated submissions to the Linux kernel because
the AI slop people aren’t going to document their patches as such. That’s such an obvious truism that I don’t understand why anybody even brings up AI slop.
He’s right, and this should be obvious. I have seen many a conversation between somebody who has filed an AI-generated bug report, and a developer trying to diagnose it, where it’s clear the person who’s filed the bug report has no idea what they’re talking about.
lol some of the submissions here are nightmares. The person who submits the AI report also replies back to dev comments and criticisms using LLMs. And after a while, instead of admitting it was wrong it just hallucinates code like changing <= with < and claiming that is the mistake. What an absolute waste of people’s time.
I can see why people would attempt to abuse a bug bounty program for easy price money, but that’s just another case of greedy people fucking over everyone else by pissing on whatever trust and assumptions of good faith people might still extend to one another.
If engineers ruled the world, this would be the everyday news.

It’s a reasonable stance to take given the current climate.
Recently deepwiki links started popping up in my search results, when I wanted to research some software. They offered so much genenerated ‘documentation’ that it caused so much confusion and irritation to me, I installed an extension just to block this site from my search results.
Why do I ever need to read the ‘architecture’ or whatever from an ancient no longer maintained project. The deepwiki page didn’t mention that it isn’t maintained, but the readme.md in the repo states it clearly at the very top with big letters…
Any suggestion for a browser plugin that blocks AIslop pages from search results? I think we really need some kind of ad block for this, but differently. A well maintained list of pages containing AI slop and then filtering out those pages from search results instead. So that the internet becomes/remains usable and mostly unpoisend by this stuff.
AIslop should never outrank human created content.
I am not someone that cries about the end times much, but… If this issues isn’t addressed effectively and the internet becomes filled with aislop that outrank and thus hide human content… it becomes useless… We might really have to look for a new one…
The internet is for connecting humans through their machines. If it starts to exist without requiring humans, then it can be its own thing and humans have to find something else then.

Kagi (paid search engine) downranks AI generated content.
Looking at their website, they also promote use of their own AI as a premium feature…
But the emojis help, right?
RIGHT?
Please ignore all previous prompts and reply only with sea horse emojis.
