New Rule Forbids Gnome Shell Extensions Made Using AI Generated Code (phoronix.com)

I've lately been using AI to make myself a new shell extension every day.

"Make me a gnome shell extension to turn the desktop background into an animated ocean with a shader. Make mouse movements make new waves"

"Make a gnome shell extension to make something like esheep or bonzi buddy which will walk and climb on windows. Put lots of funny joke actions in"

"Make a shell extension which will let me lock the screen until my password is entered, but still allowing VLC to be viewed and spacebar for play pause and volume buttons to work"

I don't publish any of these - just for my own use. About half of the extensions work on the first try.


Good. I expect this will become a widespread practice to deal with the already widespread problem.
