I am 100% for this. Most AI tools just scrape (read: steal) code from
whatever source they can, with no attribution or consideration for legal
rights/copyright.
Accepting any AI generated code is a legal risk unless the source of the
code can be verified.
I would wager 99.999% of people using AI tools wouldn't know what the
source of the code is, or how it is licensed.

Hi
There's been a lot of "AI" slop spam to various KDE projects, bug reports,
forums, etc..
We should take a more public stance on disallowing all this slop. Lengthy
gitlab issues that are just full of nonsense generated by a bot just take time
out of everyones schedules, trying to decipher if its serious or not.
Other projects have already done something similar, see for
example:https://discourse.gnome.org/t/loupe-no-longer-allows-generative-ai-contributions/27327
I don't care if someone uses those tools in their personal projects, but
bringing this slop in to our shared space just frustrates people and eats
resources to go through.
Can we have somekind of official "please don't AI slop in our places" sign
somewhere?
Thanks,
