From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I agree to the utility of finding security bugs but the general utility of using LLMs is often overblown. There are studies that say that 95% of companies do not see any measurable positive impact.
The Linux kernel is likely a special case. But for other open source developer communities, it seems to have some negative impacts, too. And the full effects on maintainability of code will only be visible after some years.
