In January 2026, Linus Torvalds, the visionary behind Linux, made waves by updating his personal project, AudioNoise, on GitHub. The Python visualization component of the project was crafted using Google Antigravity, an AI-powered tool, drawing significant attention. Previously, Linus had been a vocal critic of AI-generated code, contending that it often fell short in grasping the underlying logic and was riddled with potential pitfalls. He even went as far as to deride programmers who leaned heavily on AI as mere 'CV (Curriculum Vitae) engineers,' implying they lacked true coding prowess. However, this new development is confined to his personal endeavors; Linus remains steadfast in his belief that AI is not yet up to the task of maintaining formal projects like the Linux kernel. He underscores that AI serves merely as a supplementary tool, incapable of replacing the ingenuity and expertise of human programmers.
