📰 KDE's proposed LLM policy discussion gets locked after a fiery community clash

With the Linux kernel accepting LLM submissions, distro developers are beginning to ask themselves if AI code has a place within their own project. We've seen distros take both sides, with Gentoo and Void choosing the anti-AI option while Debian allowing only high-quality LLM-generated content. Now, it's KDE's turn to work out what level of LLM-made content is allowed, and the community has some strong thoughts from both camps.
