Linus Torvalds Says AI Is Mostly Marketing 90% of the Time

Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux Kernel, has expressed his skepticism and thoughts towards AI, claiming that 90% of it is purely marketing.

Torvalds, who is known for his blunt and honest assessments, shared his thoughts on AI during a recent interview. He believes that many companies exaggerate the capabilities of AI and use it extensively for marketing purposes.

"AI is a buzzword," Torvalds said. "It's like the new 'cloud.' Everyone is using it, but no one really knows what it means."

Torvalds is not the only one who has expressed concerns about the overuse of AI. Other experts have also warned that AI can be overhyped and that companies may not be fully prepared for the ethical implications of using AI.

Despite his skepticism, Torvalds does believe that AI has the potential to be a powerful tool. However, he believes that it is important to be realistic about its capabilities and to use it responsibly.

"AI is not a magic bullet," Torvalds said. "It's just a tool. Like any other tool, it can be used for good or for evil."
