Disallow or discourage use of "AI" tools

[Justin Zobel]

I am 100% for this. Most AI tools just scrape (read: steal) code from 
whatever source they can, with no attribution or consideration for legal 
rights/copyright.

Accepting any AI generated code is a legal risk unless the source of the 
code can be verified.

I would wager 99.999% of people using AI tools wouldn't know what the 
source of the code is, or how it is licensed.
