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 says there was an unnecessary try/catch, that’s pretty weak if that’s the only reason.

        read their text again, the problem is that people submit code that they don’t understand. and this will grow the more people decide to stay stupid / employ LLMs.

          Well that’s an assertion they are claiming, maybe. I see people on lemmy claim that all of the time about people who use LLM tools but thinking a thing doesn’t make it fact.

          Edit: I just reread the blog and actually see zero mention of that claim. So I’m not sure where you’re reading that I’m not seeing.
