Example of KDE dev rejecting environmental consideration:

Example of KDE devs not wanting to require LLM use be disclosed.

And all of this is coming right after the debacle with an AI slop project being allowed to give a presentation at Akademy, and the person asking how this was allowed being blocked by KDE:

as well as the discussion thread bringing up legitimate concerns about AI usage being closed:

As someone who genuinely loves KDE, and has even donated to the project multiple times, I sadly have to accept that the majority of KDE have hopped onto the Pro-AI train, and they will not be dissuaded otherwise.

    Most of it was already slop. It’s had things shoehorned into it by shouty managers decades ago.

    Manager: You have to get this done by end of week…

    Dev: itll be really shitty and kind of work. Can we clean it up after?

    Manager: of course!

    Dev: its done, we can ship it. Ill start cleaning it up.

    Manager: No, you need to do this other thing by tomorrow!

    Ive had some good ones that did honor the agreement when pushed to rush things, but its not common.
