Linus Torvalds says Linux being flooded with AI-assisted fixes is a good sign, according to a post summarizing his remarks.
Linux 7.4 received almost 20,000 commits compared with the usual 15,000, and Torvalds prefers AI-related fixes to land during regular development rather than in the final testing phase, calling that a 'much healthier model.'
The post says AI is finding bugs and suggesting patches, which developers often rewrite, and that Torvalds noted AI may not be the only reason for the surge.
