Flathub has replaced its blanket ban on AI-generated applications with a disclosure requirement. Reviewers can still reject submissions, and manifests remain off-limits for AI-generated content.

that's like saying that because we can't all always 100% tell if someone is cheating at an online game we should forget about banning cheaters - you can prohibit a behavior you aren't always able to sus out and use a combination of detection heuristics and making that behavior unwelcome (i will say i believe the correct policy is to label projects which discernibly use llms rather than banning them)

    do you understand what an analogy is?
    i don't think llm content is cheating; i think it's usually garbage and that slop projects are very rarely maintained for more than a few months

    if people want to risk it they can risk it if they want i just want it labeled or in a separate category so i don't have to waste my own time

    i just find the argument that it is impossible to tell something 100% means you shouldn't bother deeply suspect since we don't apply that to other things we care about
