No AI Slops! GNOME Now Forbids Vibe Coded Extensions

GNOME has updated its extension review guidelines to reject AI-generated code submissions. The policy targets low-quality extensions with unnecessary code patterns like excessive try-catch blocks, inconsistent styling, and imaginary API usage. Reviewers were spending over 6 hours daily reviewing 15,000+ lines of code, much of it AI-generated slop. Using AI as a learning tool or for code completions remains allowed; the ban specifically targets developers who generate entire extensions without understanding the code.
