> Banning the AI just means that everyone is using it, but nobody is saying it aloud. Since it saves so much time when used correctly.

Not exactly. It also attracts developers who are against AI philosophically. What I've actually seen is that there are a sizable number of people who are against AI and want a place for their code. You're also wrong that AI isn't the problem: it is. AI is the problem because it's too addictive and easy to use, and we're not rational creatures but instinctive.

Personally, I would only contribute to projects that have a complete AI-free policy. I hate AI and think it's a detriment to the human race.
