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

I guess the practical idea is that if your AI generated code is so good and you've reviewed it so well that it fools the reviewer, the rule did it's job and then it doesn't matter.

But most of the time the AI code jumps out immediately to any experienced reviewer, and usually for bad reasons.

So then it's not really a blanket "no-AI" rule if it can't be enforceable if it's good enough? I suppose the rule should have been "no obviously bad AI" or some other equally subjective thing?
