Torvalds: "100% of Their Code Is Written by Compilers" Too. The Linux creator argued that AI-written code claims are misleading — and warned that a wave of low-quality, AI-generated bug reports is quietly burning out the maintainers who keep open source running.
Did the headline change? The current headline is Torvalds: “100% of Their Code is Written by Compilers” Too
The title of this post makes for a dumb headline, at any rate. Linus, in response to claims in the industry that projects are now “99% written by AI”, drew an analogy to compilers by saying that all machine code for projects are written by Compilers, yet no one says their project was 100% written by a compiler. It’s just talking about stupid hype, which is valid.
That being said, it’s still quite unfortunate that Linus has fallen into the trap of LLMs.

Source did change the title if you look at the URL matches what OP posted
