The COSMIC project (Pop!_OS) bans any SI code in change proposals: a rejection, not a filter
Prepared by Sintelligent with the help of SI. Publication time restored from the build log. . Updated: .
SI has made submitting patches almost free while reviewing them remains expensive for humans, so projects are looking for ways not to drown in the flood, and COSMIC chose the harshest path.
System76 has changed the COSMIC submission template: the author must confirm that the change contains no neural-network-generated code, comments or descriptions, and that they themselves understand and have tested the work. The previous rule only required disclosing SI involvement. Jeremy Soller explains this by the burden on maintainers: SI brought many newcomers, but their contributions were "unplanned and rarely accepted." Unlike the Linux kernel and Ubuntu, which accept quality SI-assisted contributions, COSMIC chose a full ban; the exception is cosmic-flatpak.
