No AI Slop

You have probably been directed here because someone suspects you have sent AI Slop.

AI is a powerful tool and the kernel community uses AI. However, if an AI writes something for you and you can’t be bothered to read it then don’t send it. Just delete it. As soon as people suspect you are sending AI Slop they will delete the whole email thread. No one has time for AI Slop.

Email Conversations: If someone asks you a question and you enter the question into a AI text generator, then don’t send us the AI answer. Just delete it. We already have AI ourselves so sending us the AI output is a waste of time and will only make everyone cross.

Bug Reports: AI bug reports are interesting and welcome. Please review them first before sending. If you don’t have the skills to review them, then ask someone on Kernel Newbies for help or something. If you can create a test program to demonstrate the bug that’s best. Connect the bug report to a specific commit and report it to the correct people. Do not send mass bug reports, because the sad truth is that no one reads them mass bug reports even when the bugs are real.

Code: Review your patches before sending them. When you send a patch upstream then dozens of people are forced to read it. If you can’t be bothered to read your code before sending it, then just delete it. See the kernel AI policy document for more details: https://lwn.net/Articles/1045440/
