Here's why this bothers me so much. There's already a lot of automation for patches getting backported to the numerous stable kernels. In theory those updates are focused on important or minor fixes, so distributions just pull in the latest stable release and it shows up in security updates on your machines. We _already_ have problems with problematic fixes slipping into the stable kernel series, and llm reviews are going to make it worse.

"I expect our direction for the next release will be to tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork, automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from people we trust..." Chat, we're so fucking cooked. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260818212923.2725202-1-kuba@kernel.org/
