schestowitz[TR2]"The Linux Kernel is removing the requirement of tagging AI generated code submissions.Oct 13 19:14
schestowitz[TR2]Over the last 10 months, we’ve been able to track the growing rate of AI coding in the kernel (with over 20% of all code submissions being AI generated, so far in October)… we know this thanks to the kernel’s required “Assisted-by” AI tag.Oct 13 19:14
schestowitz[TR2]With the removal of this requirement, we will no longer be able to effectively track the level of AI development within Linux.Oct 13 19:14
schestowitz[TR2]This change was agreed upon (by the majority of kernel devs) at the Linux Maintainers Summit, held last week in Prague.Oct 13 19:14
schestowitz[TR2]The stated reasons for removing the “AI declaration” requirement are varied, but come down to these three arguments:Oct 13 19:14
schestowitz[TR2]1) Usage of AI for coding the Linux kernel is becoming so widespread, that declaring it is redundant.  (One developer likened it to declaring which text editor you used.)Oct 13 19:14
schestowitz[TR2]2) Linux Kernel developers feel that most developers who use AI… are not actually following the rule of labeling their submissions as such anyway.Oct 13 19:14
schestowitz[TR2]3) Other developers feel like it is “free advertising” for various AI platforms.Oct 13 19:14
schestowitz[TR2]This change has not been officially merged yet, but (considering it was already agreed upon, and seems to have the support of top level maintainers at the Linux Foundation) that is expected to happen shortly."Oct 13 19:14
