This has been their policy but now it's more explicitly defined. Go look through the submissions on https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pulls?q=is%3Apr to understand how bad the problem they are dealing with is.

It's weird because I am sure that a large number of established apps in flathub, such as.. Chromium https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.chromium.Chromium has AI-assisted code, and this bans all AI-assisted code

The policy as it stands is contradictory with flathub practice, unless it specifies that already accepted apps are grandfathered or something like that.

It states: Exceptions may be granted for mature, well-maintained projects.

Any app store should

Disagree, why should an app that works (and has AI contributed code) be banned, but not necessarily a buggy app written by a human? It's worse than a double standard.

Are “buggy” apps written by humans allowed? I guess it depends how buggy you're referring to, as most software (AI or not) likely has bugs.

What kind of whataboutism is this? Both should be. AI generated slop has no place in app stores same as "buggy" apps whatever it means.
