  • GNOME.org Extensions will no longer accept new GNOME Shell extensions with AI-generated code.
  • A new rule in the review guidelines explicitly rejects AI-generated code submissions.
  • AI-generated extensions often contain unnecessary code, inconsistent style, or imaginary API usage.
  • Developers can still use AI as a learning aid or for code completions locally but not for submissions.
  • GNOME developer Javad Rahmatzadeh highlighted the rise in AI-generated extensions as the reason for the ban.
  • Non-AI extensions like Adaptive Brightness and All-In-One Clipboard received updates.
