Seems to me that the sole focus should be on the quality of the code being submitted. I don't really care how it was made, the question is whether the code is clean, if it's doing what was intended, if it has tests.

    I don't think this is the whole picture. AI-generated code is harder to maintain because the creator may not understand how/why it works, and AI is are notoriously bad at debugging it's own code. Using a lot of AI generated code often counterintuitively slows down the overall development process

    It's the job of the people maintaining the project to review changes they merge in and to understand them. When people make PRs to my projects, I don't just trust them blindly.
