I wholeheartedly agree with Linus here. Especially the part about expecting people to understand what they are doing.

Using AI doesn’t absolve you of responsibility for your code. You still need to review it, test it, understand the permissions it asks for, and explain why it works. If your entire explanation is “the AI said so,” you haven’t done your job.

But dismissing someone’s work purely because AI was involved, without even reviewing it? What exactly are you evaluating at that point?

I use AI in my projects. I also challenge it, reject suggestions, and make it justify decisions. Sometimes it gets things hilariously wrong. Knowing enough to catch that is part of using the tool properly.

There are legitimate arguments about AI, including privacy, resource consumption, and corporate control. I’m not asking anyone to pretend those concerns don’t exist. But they don’t automatically tell you whether a particular piece of code is good, secure, or useful.

If you find a flaw in my work, show me. That gives me something I can fix. “You used AI” tells me nothing about whether the damn thing works.
