Linus Torvalds is fed up with AI-generated bug reports bloating the Linux kernel

Linus Torvalds says AI-generated bug reports and late pull requests are bloating the Linux kernel.

He complained that trivial, duplicate submissions are arriving late in the RC5 cycle and distracting from real regressions.

Torvalds warned he will be stricter about unnecessary changes and said AI-driven duplicates are overwhelming security channels.

The comments reflect broader concerns that generative AI can add noise, delay fixes, and raise maintenance costs in open source.
