The Lunduke Journal(@LundukeJournal):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.”
