This is the way. Accept code on merit and ensure that a person takes accountability for it. Doesn’t matter if it was typed, chiseled, generated, or bit-flipped via magnetized needle on a chip.
If it’s good, it’s good. If it’s slop, it’s slop.

KDE is working on an official AI / LLM policy, and it reads like the rules of Fight Club.
In short, KDE’s AI policy:
1) Encourages using AI, as long as a human is kept “in the loop”.
2) But you can’t tell anyone that you used AI.
“Don’t disclose LLM usage”.
“Don’t add ‘Assisted-by: [some LLM]” (as is done in the Linux kernel).
“Nobody in KDE should know if you use an LLM”.
In other words: “Welcome to developing KDE with AI. The first rule of developing KDE with AI is: you do not talk about developing KDE with AI.”
