Ughhhhh someone submitted an app to appcenter that is not only obviously vibe coded because Claud is on the repo but also because there’s a lot of really big mistakes.

@danirabbit fortunately this is going to keep happening and we are going to have to figure it out as a community how to deal with it. It's going to be a crises.
Honestly I don’t like this at all. If you want to learn to write apps please ask for mentorship and join our community there’s lot of people willing to help. But I can’t help but feel like this is a waste of my time because you’re not learning anything this way. It feels gross
I also feel like we need something in appstream so that people in the App Store can know an app was made with an LLM and avoid it
@danirabbit should the Linux kernel itself be included? https://lwn.net/Articles/1026558/
@danirabbit i'll be the @alatiera in this discussion and advocate for just banning anything touched by an LLM
Feel free to throw your acks here: https://github.com/ximion/appstream/issues/744
We've also now started a discussion for the appcenter submission process if we'll allow submissions to our flatpak remote that are known to contain LLM-generated code

@danirabbit was also thinking that but couldn't decide between suggesting a freeform "ai disclosure" or an OARS-like approach so we can list 'code', 'translations', 'branding'...
