    [$] Testing AI-enhanced reviews for Linux patches

    Description:
    Code review is in high demand, and short supply, for most open-source projects.
    Reviewer time is precious, so any tool that can lighten the load is worth exploring.
    That is why Jesse Brandeburg and Kamel Ayari decided to test whether
    tools like ChatGPT could review patches to provide quick feedback to contributors about common problems. In a
    talk at the Netdev0x18 conference this July, Brandeburg provided an overview of an
    experiment using machine learning to review emails containing patches
    sent to the netdev mailing list. Large-language models (LLMs) will not be replacing human reviewers anytime
    soon, but they may be a useful addition to help humans focus on deeper
    reviews instead of simple rule violations.
