Pop!_OS bans AI-generated code from much of its codebase

I also have found that AI has not lived up to many of its promises and have dialed back what AI gets control of. My projects were turning into unmaintainable messes. The people who say coding is solved aren't paying attention.

I had a PR in flight that got closed because of this. I had an issue with passwords in the network applet for the VPN and had used Claude to help me identify and then come up with a fix. I did spend a lot time handcrafting and making sure the quality was good, but I respect their decision and no hard feelings, but as someone who have struggled to find time and opportunity to contribute to open source it was a small set back.

I don't see how this will survive the attacker/defender gap as ls get increasingly good at cyber security and finding 0 days... but maybe it's an obscure enough is it doesn't matter?

I still wanna see what Slop OS looks like. Go full AI spam making a Linux distro from the kernel up.

Same trouble we have. Some clever person says to use AI agents for code review. 100kloc commit got flagged through on Friday. Taking this week off. Not my circus.

Faith is the problem. Extraordinary claims must stand up to scrutiny. They do not.

Doing that will put you put of the market. I am certain of that.

banning AI from PRs because you're swamped with too many low quality PRs, definitely. We pretty much are doing this with SQLAlchemy. If I'm going to have a small fix or improvement coded by an LLM (which I do all the time), I want to prompt the LLM directly, rather than having someone trying to pad their resume forward my communications onto their LLM via PRs. What's the point of that?

Thank god. Tired of these orgs blindly and stupidly allowing them (Debian, cough).
