We don't forbid using AI models for writing code but pull requests largely created that way will typically be rejected or skipped due to not meeting our requirements. It needs to be well written code which appears to be regular code written by a human regardless of the level of AI assistance involved in making it. It should not look like AI generated code. We do want to know if AI models are being used and how they're being used rather than people using it but not telling us they're using it.

GrapheneOS is based on projects heavily using AI including the Linux kernel. Cellebrite, NSO and other exploit developers are using it to exploit these projects. They currently have a major advantage thanks to AI which will likely be turned into a major disadvantage over the long term. It's getting a huge backlog of bugs fixed and creating enormous pressure to make systemic improvements. Here's what Debian adopted, which is a similar idea but much more permissive: https://www.debian.org/vote/2026/vote_002#texte
