Linux drops its AI disclosure tag, Torvalds slams "don't use AI" rules
The Linux kernel no longer asks contributors to label patches made with AI coding tools. Maintainers agreed to drop the Assisted-by tag because almost nobody used it, and when a developer pushed back, Linus Torvalds called rules like "don't use AI for X" utterly stupid. What matters, he says, is that people understand the code they send.
