It's not only the Linux networking subsystem where many fixes have been appearing -- including several notable security fixes for local privilege escalation issues -- leading to "craziness" from AI / LLMs. The Linux sound subsystem has also been seeing an uptick in activity with many "assisted-by" patches coming about in recent weeks...
The rapid development and widespread adoption of AI/LLMs are leading to their integration as tools across various software development and maintenance processes, including critical infrastructure like the Linux kernel.
This indicates AI's increasing utility in identifying and rectifying bugs, potentially accelerating the stability, security, and development velocity of foundational software layers.
AI/LLM assistance is becoming a significant factor in maintaining complex software systems, moving beyond theoretical application to practical, impactful contributions in core infrastructure.

AI-assisted bug fixing leads to more resilient and secure Linux-based systems.
Increased reliance on AI in development pipelines introduces new considerations for code quality, bias, and potential vulnerabilities from AI-generated suggestions.
The role of human developers evolves towards oversight and complex architectural design, as AI handles more routine and pattern-based code improvements.
