Zero-tolerance no-AI policies are tiresome. I get why people have concerns. No PR reviewer wants to review drek the submitter him/herself doesn't understand. And LLMs have been a disproportionate source for such drek. But the actual problem they're trying to solve should be low-quality submissions, rather than spending energy fulfilling some notion of AI-free purity.

The linked issue raised the complaint that a bit of text as a "wall of text" (implication, I guess, too many words, too little meaning). Maybe it was or wasn't. But being generated by an LLM doesn't make it a wall of text, and being written by a human doesn't make it not a wall (speaking as somebody who has been fairly accused at times of generating 100% human-made walls of text).

No because some people are against AI for reasons other than just slop. Some people actually find it revolting that it uses so much energy and that it encourages deskilling in many. AI in my view is antithetical to human creativity and I try very hard to avoid software projects that use AI, whenever possible. And I try to only promote software that is AI-free.
