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.

Oh it's already easy. You start asking the submitter to explain the code. Sometimes it's just visually obvious, too.
I've always had the opinion of it not being slop if you:
This effectively forces you to do research to properly understand how your patch is implemented and puts you through the mental exercise of cleaning up the code. It also more often than not mostly replaces the code the LLM generated anyway, making it yours.
I say all this as someone who turns around a lot of PRs at work for being slop. Come back to me when you can take ownership of your git blame.
No matter how good an ai can be, what it writes should never be pushed as-is. It's just like you shouldn't ever have copy-pasted snippets from stack overflow to fix bugs.

But that is a statement of this time, it is not now and I don't k ow if this branch of AI well get there bit it could eventually become better then us at coding. Just like Chess and Go.
I don't know what you're trying to say, sorry
