Flathub has replaced its blanket ban on AI-generated applications with a disclosure requirement. Reviewers can still reject submissions, and manifests remain off-limits for AI-generated content.
Probably the right decision given there’s no way to truly tell what level of AI generation or effort within the project itself with AI has taken place.
I understand the willingness to ban low effort low quality one shot projects, but given most software nowadays incorporating some level of LLMs, I can’t ever see a blanket ban working out anywhere.
It means you contain the generated code.
I don’t have an issue with this. If it’s AI you can usually tell, if you can’t tell then it’s not slop and it’s fine to use.
there should be a place for ai apps, that is separate from human built apps
We could call it SlopHub
sounds nice
🤦♂️
This suggests that it has to be disclosed to the reviewers, which is a good thing, but how will end users be made aware?
I only use 6 flatpaks (due them not being available in the arch official repo’s) and I get them via a gui package manager. I’m assuming I am going to have to modify how I do this for any future installs, and check my existing ones, but then what about future releases/updates?
A ‘no ai’ swtich/toggle would be swell.
You are aware, that if you are using Linux you are using AI generated code?
Yes, I’m also aware that is redundant to this conversation. There is no reason for decent people to just give up on decency just because one layer (even the top layer) of something is f*cked up.
If people gave up that easily, we would all be working in coal mines 14 hours a day, living in trash societies, with slave labour, and trash governments… oh
Hopefully someone forks the kernel, and there is an increase in anti ai distro’s, de’s etc.
