When has he stated that he uses AI like that? The last I heard about him a month ago, he specifically stated that he was not interested in AI to write code: https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-ai-tool-maintai...

3 days ago: https://github.com/torvalds/AudioNoise/blob/main/README.md

> Also note that the python visualizer tool has been basically written by vibe-coding. I know more about analog filters -- and that's not saying much -- than I do about python. It started out as my typical "google and do the monkey-see-monkey-do" kind of programming, but then I cut out the middle-man -- me -- and just used Google Antigravity to do the audio sample visualizer.

For me there are two things notesworthy in that repo:

* the README was clearly not written by an LLM nor aided

* he still uses GPLv2 (not 3) as the license for his works
