Linux kernel creator says let's see which workloads use GenAI in five years
Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel, thinks the majority of marketing circulated by the industry on Generative AI is simply fluff with no real substance - and it may take many years before the tech is proven.The reformed potty mouth was speaking at the Open Source Summit in Vienna last month to “video-focused storytelling platform” TFiR when he was asked for thoughts on modern technologies, specifically GenAI.“I think AI is really interesting and I think it is going to change the world and at the same time I hate the hype cycle so much that I really don't want to go there, so my approach to AI right now is I will basically ignore it,” said Torvalds.
