Pro tip, when sending a bug to the kernel security team, and it's reviewed and shown to not actually be a bug at all due to the report being "written" by a llm which can't actually parse C very well, don't proceed to "curse" the reviewer for pointing this out.

@gregkh I sincerely hope LLM policy that will be announced at LPC in December will be negative rather than a positive. This "vibe coding" nonsense is ruining projects.

@gregkh oh we had one of those as well...

I mean I get people wanting to be helpful, but prompting something and expecting that to be useful without understanding anything at aall is to put it mildly... a very optimistic approach to helping out in FOSS projects

I am always wondering why they think that the developers wouldn't pick the low hanging fruit themselves. If the approach would work, it would not require a third party to do it.

@gregkh there's some real irony to the statement "You took my effort" which may have been lost on this person.

@gregkh Maybe such reports should be made public afterwards to serve as a warning?
