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
Oh…an actually human response. How refreshing. At least one person here got their rabies shot.
Do they actually review it or is it like how android and apple “review” apps? And why would they be reviewing the code rather than putting it through some test suite/virus scanning suite or something? That is, this shit isn’t going away any time soon even if the bubble pops, so why not find a way to avoid the work rather than ban people who make the work “too hard”?
@uncouple9831 @imecth Because they care. Quaint old concept, I know…
Why are you atting us? Replies show up for us anyway.
Regardless, I don’t know how your statement addresses anything I said.
@uncouple9831 That’s how my Mastodon client works. You asked, “Why would they be reviewing code?” I gave you the answer.
There was more to that sentence. Caring doesn’t mean accomplishing a goal in the highest effort way.
@uncouple9831 If you really care about quality, it does.
No, it means doing a thing in the highest quality way. If you were taught quality is proportional to effort, you were taught poorly in my opinion.
