GNOME Circle has moved to protect the quality of applications and libraries that orbit the GNOME desktop. The committee behind the program updated its criteria this week to reject submissions that show clear signs of low-effort machine-generated output. The change comes as reviewers face a growing pile of applications, some lingering for years.
“While it is not prohibited to use AI as a learning aid or a development tool (i.e. code completions), app developers should be able to justify and explain the code they submit, within reason. Submissions with large amounts of unnecessary code, inconsistent code style, imaginary API usage, comments serving as LLM prompts, or other indications of AI-generated output will be rejected,” reads the updated text in the GNOME Circle criteria.
There is more if you are intrested in AI and it’s use and misuse.
