A GNOME contributor proposes a strict LLM policy banning the use of AI-generated code in submissions to the GNOME project. The policy emphasizes humanist principles, requiring contributors to personally understand and explain their code while rejecting automated impersonation through chatbots or agents.
Background
KDE recently sparked controversy with its own AI policy proposal, prompting discussions across the open source community about how projects should address LLM usage. GNOME is one of the major Linux desktop environments with a strong emphasis on community-driven, human-centric development.
