COSMIC shuts the door on AI code as GNOME debates letting bug reports in

System76 demands human-written contributions, while a rival desktop developer argues bot-found flaws are too valuable to ignore

System76 is banning AI-generated content from contributions to the COSMIC desktop. Some GNOME sub-projects also restrict AI-generated contributions, but one developer is urging them to make an exception for vulnerability reports

The COSMIC desktop project has changed its contributors' guidelines. The latest version now has a clear no-AI rule, insisting that contributors declare: "I have not included any LLM (also known as AI) generated content in this PR, including code, comments, and descriptions."
