Key points
- Some GNOME sub-projects also restrict AI-generated contributions, but one developer is urging them to make an exception for vulnerability reports.
- In other words, you can teach yourself using AI, you can find bugs with AI, but if you want to submit your code for inclusion in COSMIC, you can't use AI to write the code, its docs or notes, or even the submission requests.
- For instance, the GNOME Calendar guide to contributing says: "This project does not allow contributions generated by large languages [sic] models (LLMs) and chatbots.
- COSMIC does use some GNOME components, and its default config looks not unlike GNOME, with a top panel and a dock-like launcher at the bottom.
