KDE Drafts AI Policy: Use LLMs, But Don't Tell Anyone
carsonfarmer · x · 2026-09-21
KDE is drafting an official AI/LLM policy that @LundukeJournal describes as reading like Fight Club rules:
- AI use is encouraged, as long as a human stays "in the loop"
- But developers must not disclose that they used an LLM
- Explicitly bans adding Assisted-by: [some LLM] (as the Linux kernel does)
- "Nobody in KDE should know if you use an LLM"
@tobi's take: accept code on merit and ensure a person takes accountability for it — whether it was typed, chiseled, generated, or bit-flipped via a magnetized needle. If it's good, it's good. If it's slop, it's slop.
