In other news, the AI I was talking to some days ago decided now to review a series of rtl8723bs in linux-staging.

It just generated a huge wall of text not following the LKML formatting of course.

By the way, this is clearly AI generated. Wondering if I should reach out to Gregk or someone else. It is hard to do given I am not an expert on rtl8723bs or any wireless device really.

Btw, the patch series the guy is reviewing it is probably AI generated too. What a world.

I am supposed to trust that this guy is just a student. Although a student capable of contributing to completely different subsystems and finding subtle bugs (or fake ones).

Coincidentally, if I feed the code to a LLM it suggest the same "Modernization and Cleanup".

I am so tired, I never expected that I would be playing "who is telling lies" in a mailing list.

@ffmancera "it's just another tool"

(sorry not sour grapes about Linus's take on this but genuinely hoping that people see that y'know, kinda this is different ;)

@gregkh @ffmancera thanks for doing that. I really feel this kind of pushback is important atm, set a CLEAR precedent that it won't fly.

I mean for what it's worth, I'm sure those intent on spamming won't care but the 'trying to help but misguided' people might!
