Linus Torvalds 表态：Linux 不是反 AI 项目，质疑 AI 实用性的人显然没用过

我意识到有些人真的不喜欢人工智能，但这是一个我作为顶级维护者绝对会坚持立场的领域。

Linux 并不是那些反人工智能的项目之一，如果有人对这有意见，他们可以做开源的事情——分叉它。

人工智能是一种工具，就像我们使用的其他工具一样。显然，它是一个有用的工具。

或许就算在一年前，这一点也不那么“明显”，但今天已经毫无疑问了。

围绕人工智能还有其他问题（例如它最终实际的经济形态会是什么样子），但“它是否有用”已经不再是其中的问题。任何对此持怀疑态度的人显然都没有真正使用过它。

I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.

Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.

AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.

It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.

There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.
