@thelinuxexperiment GNOME hiding all the AI-gen reports from projects that prohibit AI is madness, they could just create a separated category/page for reports that are AI or they are not sure instead of just going with "we cannot tell, so we are not even going to try".Honestly, this change has the smell of laziness.
