heyyyy they can eat shit and die then

Fuck, is there a way to pushback to them on this. Hopefully community pushback will allow them to change this policy.

Man, Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite was the distro that stopped my distrohopping for good 3 years ago. I guess it's finally time to look into Nix or go think about Arch again.

As someone who is technically in the industry (web developer, but recently laid off). I can't stress enough how bad every AI tool I have used is at coding. Like genuinely it falls apart so fast and requires human refactoring to fix. Maybe packaging work loads make more sense?

damn. Fedora was gonna be my next distro on the desktop. Guess not anymore.

AI at least for now is a very slippery slope so the fedora team need to make sure they keep it’s use in check

why on earth would they do this lmao. here at Red Hat we love introducing unmaintainable sludge code to our distro

This time this tool, which doesn't add anything of value for the 99.XX% cases it was used in, will for sure add value!

sigh

ugh.

RIP fedora

It's like every techbro has bought into AI. We're gonna need to return to pigeons. Quick, we're gonna need to catch the park pigeons.

That'll surely improve the quality of the distro. Hope they hire a few "vibe coding redemption experts" to fix any issues resulting from this decision.

FUCK THIS

nobody i know has used ai our anecdotes dont matter what matters is the FACT that AI is harmful in every aspect and we should do absolutely everything in our power to shame those who push for it and state the facts of its harm on us all

As if Windows is breaking things since using AI? Don't make me laugh. Proper review and testing is always needed, whether you use AI or not.

I guess going all-in on Debian is finally working out for me.

Arch is getting more and more tempting by the day.

Seems quite reasonable, what they wrote. I figure certain contributors were already using such tools, now they're basically being asked now for honesty. I wonder how useful such tools could be with something so (seemingly) difficult and complex as developing a distro, though.

Just use slackware bro

And this is why Arch (btw) is better

This is bad news for linux community. If fedora does this, so will do some others gradually.

I can't believe LLMs don't have to give attribution, but users have to give AI attribution in the policy. Seems like free advertising on top of allowing their use.

People have been contributing AI code to Linux projects for a while now but obviously not everyone accepts their contributions. I guess we will see if the maintainers actually accept these contributions and if this just to help them actually discern what's AI and what isn't via policy enforcement

This is fucking Linux. If someone does something the community fucking hates, can't they just shoot them??

What the frick man

How can LLM generated code possibly fulfill the "license compliance" requirement ? Put a "may contain GPL" sticker on it ?!

can't say I love this, I do like the stance of 'no you are responsible for code you submit, it was made by AI isnt an excuse and you will be held to that standard' but I would be inherently suspicious of license claims associated with llm generated code.

Neckbeards for AI will lose their Linux when they forgot how to troubleshoot the code.
