A dark-themed table lists operating-system kernels, their last untainted versions or commit IDs, AI-related evidence, and possible alternatives. The joke is that finding an AI-free alternative is difficult: some projects have permissive AI policies, AI code reviews, or condone LLM ingestion, while others simply ask for help. It works as a reaction to the growing difficulty of avoiding AI involvement in software projects.
