Torvalds joked that AI made Linux 7.3-rc2 this big, and nobody checked

Linus Torvalds released Linux 7.3-rc2 with an unusually large number of commits, jokingly attributing it to AI despite no clear cause. The release includes extensive fixes across filesystems, graphics, networking, and drivers, with tooling changes comprising about 20%. Torvalds previously noted AI tools contributed to many fixes in earlier releases.
