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.

      Not sure how this affects what I said. Having an anti-ai policy simply doesn’t work, you’d know that if you worked on any open source projects at all. There’s a reason all sane projects, like linux and now kde, end up accepting AI code. You can keep retreating to the next DE/WM until there’s none left but the ultra niche whose entire point is it doesn’t use AI, but it also has no contributor.
