New Rule Forbids GNOME Shell Extensions Made Using AI Generated Code (www.phoronix.com)

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

A saner organization would also hit up submitters for a reviewer's fee. This would reduce AI spam. Barriers to entry matter.

A reviewers fee is equivalent to Canonical offering customer support contracts. Obviously a person that needs to lean on AI as a crutch, is just screaming out for reviewers to act as advisers. The reviewer just wielding the giant DENIED stamp is fun, but doesn't address the issue of noobs implicitly asking to work with a consultant.

gnome reviewers obviously never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
