The GNOME.org Extensions hosting for GNOME Shell extensions will no longer accept new contributions with AI-generated code. A new rule has been added to their review guidelines to forbid AI-generated code.
Due to the growing number of GNOME Shell extensions looking to appear on extensions.gnome.org that were generated using AI, it’s now prohibited. The new rule in their guidelines note that AI-generated code will be explicitly rejected
Yes it would be someone else. If the code looks good then it might last a long time, and it could even be expanded upon. One key point of FOSS is that anyone can change it, and if it’s good, people will.
Great, so then it’s someone reading new code either way, so it shouldn’t matter if it’s in the LLM style or random human A’s style, it’s still something you have to read and learn.
But also I wonder if there’s an analysis of how many of these extensions has ever been touched by more than a single human, ever. I don’t know, but I sure wouldn’t be surprised if the answer is 80%.
