    Are the kernel devs paying any attention to this, or did some random person just make a site that autogenerates things that sound like opinions on Linux commits?

      Probably a rando. Everybody and their dog shit out some agentic something-or-other these days.

      The problem is, lazy and/or talentless coders use these things, then submit poor code and PRs that look authoritative on the surface, but take a lot of time to review, and for the reviewer to realize they’re looking at crap code made by a machine.

      I maintain a handful of open-source projects myself, and I’ve basically stopped accepting PRs: half of them are clearly flawed, and I don’t have time to sort out proper code made by competent coders from polished machine-made turds. And I sure as hell won’t let a machine review the code for me either: I take too much pride in the quality of what I maintain.
