The "3. Probabilistically Automated" label has been appointed throughout the GNOME/ namespace on GNOME GitLab, for labeling tickets/issues and merge requests that use artificial "intelligence". This new label describes itself as the following: Major or total reliance on "AI" / LLMs / stochastic parrots to generate code or bug reports. Usually accompanied by a lack of proper testing, and writing reports or finalizing patches based on plausibly sounding intended behavior rather than correctness of code. We decided to use "probabilistically automated" as the label to avoid anthropomorphizing artificial "intelligence". The discussion took place in the Calendar Matrix room, with contributors from different projects (specifically, Document Scanner and Nautilus). Calendar already used the "Probabilistically Automated" label but only internally, which was also announced on GNOME Discourse. Document Scanner was the second one to use the label in the project by recreating the label, and one of the Nautilus developers was looking into recreating the label for Nautilus. Since this was a lot of duplicated effort, we decided to appoint it throughout the GNOME/ namespace, so every project that bans AI contributions can also use this label. The only thing that needed to be done was to tweak the wording and then appoint it.
