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)

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.

I can accept some trace amount of rat shit is going to get into my granola, but I am not willing to say that means I'm allowing rat shit in my cereal.

Please at least try to keep it out, as I do when I'm making my own granola. Yes I know it's hard, but let's just try.
