- Linus Torvalds opposes focusing Linux kernel documentation explicitly on AI, preferring a broader 'tools' approach.
- Torvalds argues that AI-generated 'slop' patches won't be documented honestly, making AI-specific guidelines ineffective.
- He believes documentation should target 'good actors' and avoid taking sides in the AI debate.
- The discussion on AI/tooling documentation for the Linux kernel is still ongoing among developers.
