KDE is actively proposing a Pro-AI contribution policy, with most rejecting any suggestions for AI use to be disclosed, or any consideration for environmental concerns (invent.kde.org)

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.

You can reject it in your own projects. That's about it. If you're open source and accepting any submissions, you've no idea if they're LLM generated or not.

    Except for all the open source libraries you probably use that also use LLMs, or you find a blog post someone wrote explaining how to do something and they used LLMs

    You can avoid direct knowledgeable usage, but you'll still have LLM code in your codebase.
