I'm pretty much neutral on the whole LLM thing as it has positives and negatives just like most other technologies. If their declaration had been scoped to "don't use LLMs and automated tooling to submit PRs for our packaging workflows and processes" that would have been fine.

Instead they go well beyond that and include this:

  * Applications containing AI-generated or AI-assisted code, documentation, or other content are not allowed.

So yeah, that's pretty much hysteria at this point. It's their project and their infrastructure though so they get to set the rules - I'm just going to shrug my shoulders and continue to not use flatpaks.

they're volunteers running a free service and simply want to keep flathub working long-term.

though i don't blame you for not keeping up.
