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

no, the opposite. The problem with ai pull requests is that in most cases whoever submits them does not understand the code and expects someone else to review it for them (that's if they are even aware of the concept of code reviews in the first place).

Who said pull requests? That isn't the topic of this thread.

Over and over again y'all ai haters seem to want to apply some bad experience you had at work to this completely different scenario. It's not the same.
