From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

stop getting all your info about AI and it's current/upcoming capabilities from mainstream news media my dude lol
We're nowhere close to what you describe, and even we were, that wouldn't be the same thing as "open source", since you could only do it to code you have access to. You couldn't - for example, use it to get a copy of the Reddit/Facebook server-side source code
Its* current/upcoming capabilities.
In my defense, apparently my phone auto corrects "its" to "it's" 🙄
Though that's probably because I misuse it all the time myself lol
No worries. My phone does this too!
