Let me know if I have misunderstood something because there is very limited information in the referenced pull request. As far as I can tell, this project announced on Twitter that it was using ChatGPT to help generate some code as some sort of publicity stunt. We then have this: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-http/commit/bde9d3b5fbf34623ca04c14eb6b0db6676c5ec52 which if I understand correctly is a commit by the maintainer to add delimiters around the code that was supposedly generated by ChatGPT, in response to some community concerns I assume. That code consists of the following trivial JavaScript function: function formatTime(timeInSeconds) { var hours = Math.floor(timeInSeconds / 3600); var minutes = Math.floor((timeInSeconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60); var seconds = timeInSeconds - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60); if (hours < 10) { hours = "0" + hours; } if (minutes < 10) { minutes = "0" + minutes; } if (seconds < 10) { seconds = "0" + seconds; } return hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds; } If that's all that this is about, I don't think this by itself is a reason for Fedora to adopt a policy around upstream projects that claim or are suspected to use ChatGPT, nor does it seem to be a reason to raise some sort of Fedora-legal obstacle to pushing this update. As such tools become more widely and extensively used and become much more sophisticated, we may have reason to revisit this issue.
