COSMIC bans all AI-generated submissions because its maintainers were getting swamped
“According to Soller, LLMs have allowed many first-time contributors to make their mark on COSMIC, but their entries were "unplanned and rarely accepted.”
What happened
COSMIC, the Linux desktop made by System76, now requires anyone offering code to confirm that none of it, including the comments and the description, was written by an AI. The project said AI had brought in many first-time contributors whose work was rarely usable but still had to be checked by a person.
