By

Solid neighbourhood-bakery energy. Trustworthy and warm.
Summary
The GNOME Shell Extensions store has banned AI-generated extensions from its marketplace, updating its review guidelines to explicitly state that extensions must not be AI-generated. While developers can still use AI as a tool, extensions with code that appears to be mostly written by AI will be rejected. The policy change was implemented to address an influx of low-quality, messy submissions that were causing problems for reviewers and users. One developer explained that the rule was necessary to maintain quality standards and prevent the store from being flooded with poorly coded extensions.
