In reply to a developer on one of the Linux kernel mailing lists, Linux creator Linus Torvalds firmly put a foot down to push back against anti-AI comments.
While I am very anti-genAI, I’m much more okay with analytical AI as long as it’s not blindly trusted. Technically they don’t need an LLM as they could use something smaller and optimized just to find vulnerabilities. I still take issue with ethical and environmental concerns but I think there are solutions to them. We just need to slow down, take the time to do things right, and ditch the whole “move fast and break things” mindset commonly seen in tech, but I doubt that will ever happen.

What’s your argument against generative AI but not analytical AI? From what I’ve seen the arguments for/against one also work for the other
