The number of bug reports for Linux 7.0 was more than usual, but at the same time, the bugs being found were pretty minor and not worth delaying the release. At the time, Linus suspected that the rise in reports was due to people using AI tools to scan for and identify bugs, and it turns out, he was right.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as we move into what Linus calls &#8220;the new normal&#8221; with a larger-than-average number of bug reports, it turns out that people aren&#8217;t properly reporting the issues their AI assistants find. And Linus is getting a little peeved over it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"linux-7-1-rc4-39-s-release-notes-include-some-ai-based-woes\">\n                        Linux 7.1-rc4&#8217;s release notes include some AI-based woes<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"use-ai-responsibly-people\">\n            Use AI responsibly, people<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>             &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/linux-developers-are-getting-bombarded-with-ai-generated-bug-reports-and-linus-isnt-happy\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linux developers are getting bombarded with AI-generated bug reports, and Linus isn&#8217;t happy https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/linux-developers-are-getting-bombarded-with-ai-generated-bug-reports-and-linus-isnt-happy\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":247972,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.xdaimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2026\/04\/linux-dolphin.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71,57],"class_list":["post-247970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247970"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247970"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":247973,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247970\/revisions\/247973"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
