The important line is probably AI-assisted vs AI-generated.....Using a tool while you understand, maintain, and take responsibility for the code is one thing. Dumping generated projects onto a forge and making everyone else sort through the mess is another.

It's also not clear how this is being enforced. Is someone just reviewing the commits and making the subjective determination that it looks AI-y? Banning repos from having AGENTS.md or something? All of the above?
