This may be an unpopular opinion, but I fully support the no-AI stance. AI-generated code belongs nowhere in an operating system or it's low level/kernel components. Especially considering the shear amount of power the kernel has over the machine. The last thing you want is an AI-generated bug crashing systems because it flipped a bit that is reserved or silently corrupting memory (or worse) because it ran in kernel mode (or similar privileges) and therefore the system didn't prevent it from doing what it was going to do. An OS (of any kind or architecture) and computer firmware is the last place I would ever want AI-generated code.
