Comment on Linus Torvalds to critics of AI coding in Linux: "Fork it. Or just walk away."

This is a misunderstanding based on confusion between technical and colloquial terminology.
A machine learning model “learns” information in the same way that a curve fitting algorithm “learns” the shape of a data set.
This is not the same as the colloquial meaning of human learning. It is a mathematical process.

That’s splitting hairs on definitions, with no change in meaning. It’s still not copying the data, and is far closer to a person learning than to a picture taken by a camera.
