Rules for AI coding assistants working with the Linux kernel codebase
lore.kernel.orgThe NetBSD developers have a significantly more sane approach.
“Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft's Copilot, OpenAI's ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta's Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core.”
