Hackers use LLMs to spot odd exploits so it makes sense developers use them too. The usage of LLMs in development likely won‘t make Linux better or safer overall, because bugs and exploits wouldn‘t have been found by either side without it in the first place. Again, it‘s like pandora‘s box where Linus is kind of forced to use it. If that makes sense.

He might consider himself forced to use it to find bugs. He wouldn’t be forced to use it to write the fix. (Now you might say he wasn’t or isn’t, but even if that were true for the kernel at large this doesn’t seem to be: www.theregister.com/os-platforms/2026/…/5285268 And this seems like mostly to be on Linus, for not stepping in here.)
