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

You're literally looking at a post that is a result of that effort... The human review process exists to try and reduce GNOME Shell extensions that could potentially break the shell. The link I posted details other steps as well, but of course you didn't bother reading that. And again, it's impossible to never break extensions because extensions are just scripts that monkey-patch the GNOME Shell process. Trying their best is all they can do.

With how Reddit and Lemmy react to GNOME, you would think GNOME killed their dog or something.

extensions are just scripts that monke patch == there is no extension mechanism

Yeah basically. It's just called Extensions. As I said in another comment, it's honestly a misnomer.
