Linus Torvalds credited an AI in a Linux kernel commit — should I let AI write my code too?

Crediting AI in a commit is a transparency signal, not proof that generated code is automatically trustworthy. Use AI for drafts, repetitive transformations, tests, and explanations—but keep a human responsible for the design, license compatibility, security review, and final diff. Run the project’s test suite, inspect every changed line, and never paste private code or production secrets into a service that is not approved for them.
