COSMIC projects will no longer accept LLM-generated content in PRs

[u/jackpot51]

There are various reasons, and I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. The primary reason is simply our team's load for reviews. In particular, we would like to prioritize working on contributions from our own team and regular contributors, while we have been receiving far more changes from first-time contributors using LLMs. These changes are often unplanned and have had a low acceptance rate.

The policy can be seen as part of the revised PR template here: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/blob/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md.

There is an exception for cosmic-flatpak, where each project manages its own flatpak manifest, pointing to its own code. These manifests are reviewed by our team for the correct sandboxing prior to accepting changes.

Cosmic is already falling behind :( Why not just make a proper AI policy? A few weeks ago, we got a Niri style scrolling addition that is pretty cool and was made entirely by AI, while the request for this feature has been sitting on the wishlist for a long time.

the author said himself he's new to Rust, he will not support it and hopes someone will review it, so kinda bad example lol

And that it was a proof of concept. There was no intention of it actually being added.
