I might be misinterpreting parody, but you can most definitely run AI tooling on Linux. And it has most of the same vulnerabilities, if not additional/different ones.
Thats true but theres a relatively stronger anti-AI or at least more controlled AI view among Linux users.

And all squares are rectangles.
There's more that aren't.
You can definitely install AI software on Linux but it’s unlikely one will catch a malware through an OS-embedded Copilot or MS Apps
