Honestly not an insane stance for an app repository. LLMs puke out what they ate, and there's a perfectly reasonable concern that they might not have legal authorization to everything they trained on. I definitely wouldn't want to get sued for hosting an app that is found to be in violation of a license agreement.
Fair. Maybe a separate repo makes sense for the wild West of vibe apps, but flathub is really more focused on end users whom will absolutely commit a murder if they find out the documentation they have been using and failing to do what they want was just gas lighting them.
However, this could also be left up to the user by labeling the applications accordingly, as is the case with proprietary applications.
When it comes to quality, I’d say: you can produce poor-quality code even without AI, but it’s a lot more work 😀️

that's fine. it can go get published on other platforms that allow shitty low quality software. is Tucows still around? go publish it there.

Why do they accept proprietary apps, but no ai assisted ones.... I don't get it...

I guess even though you can't tell if propriety code has AI code in it, it goes along with
