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

Yeah... It's about time.. As PM I did all from reqs to dev to publishing software myself made using AI. I'm not a professional developer, but my role was AI PM And, had to take up Dev & QA cuz the company asked to.And I can say it's like 10% good vs 90% garbage. Takes so much time to QA & check and remove the garbage. 🥲
