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

You know, GNOME does some stupid stuff, but I can respect them for this.

    you shouldn't be able to tell if someone used ai to write something. if you can then it is bad code. they're not talking about getting completion on a fn, they're talking about letting an agent go and write chunks of the project.

    It's always some definition of works. The code never works in all cases, which works lead to people being annoyed with gnome for allowing the extension in the first place
