PSA: following the example from various other projects within GNOME (such as Loupe and libadwaita), GNOME Calendar now explicitly forbids AI-generated contributions, with the same policy: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/725

We honor the exquisite art of organic homegrown code made with care and a willingness to learn the craft, and want to protect the time of people who help review merge requests.

@nekohayo For everyone interested in using the text: It's available under CC0 here. My post also includes some of the reasons why I created it.

Loupe no longer allows generative AI contributions

I just merged an addition to Loupe’s contribution guidelines that bans the use of AI generated content in contributions. For now, I came up with the following text.

Hey @kde what is your take on AI-generated contributions? Facing all the issues inherent to LLM, do you plan to forbid it too?
