Ofc, the scattershot 10k changes PR touching 30% of all your code files can be auto rejected without even looking at it. Who cares who or what wrote it.
And a small focusses PR from a new contributer that needs clarification which the author can not provide, shelve it.
But a blanket no-ai policy? I hear echos of business execs refusing email and demanding in person visits to remote offices for any interaction (not imagined. I knew an IT admin back in the late 80's who even refused to answer the phone and email as he felt that was 'too easy' and 'cutting in line', yes, the pysical hallway queue of people needing simple things like a login, quota adaptation or a password reset)
The tool is not your problem. Your selectivity process was never designed for low barrier access to participation. I have full sympathy for that. But focus on the real problem, the process, not some (rightly or wrongly) perceived feature filter to avoid changing how this works.
Now if you say "my project, my rules" 100%. And I sympatize very much with being overwhelmed by nuissance on a thing you love and care for.
Just don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
