I feel uneasy about it but itโ€™s inevitable and I think their approach of levelling the responsibility on the human contributor is sound. So use AI if you like but if you donโ€™t understand what itโ€™s done or how itโ€™s working weโ€™re going to pin it on you!

well there goes another good distro, first Ubuntu with snaps (that don't have a mirror, neither is optional package manager), now Fedora, Arch had an DDoS, what's next, Debian going private?

I'm sure this is more widespread than what's reported. There's no way no other distro has at least some ai code snuck in. BSD gang probably safe, for now.

I don't feel good about this as a Fedora user. Everything that "AI" touches seems to just get worse. I don't see a future where "AI" created code contributions is anything but a net negative. (I know that wasn't said directly, but it's going to happen.)

Unsurprising. They are clearly very permeable to influence from big tech culture. They were the first distro to push that stupid idea of making every desktop application run in a container, which to me is a sign that they don't speak enough with people from outside the big cloud ecosystem.

Well, it's a distribution after all. Majority of the code they ship is not written by them anyway. How is a distribution supposed to know if some piece of software they package accepts AI puke?
