I have no unique perspective to add other than an obvious question: If the PR is low quality, why not just close/reject it? Does it matter if it's AI assisted or not?

Because PRs with AI need to be reviewed with a lot more scrutiny, simply because AI is good at generating code that looks good, but isn't necessarily correct.

So now you're looking at a PR that at face value looks good, but doesn't reflect the author's skill and understanding of the subject.

Meaning now you shift more work to the owners of the codebase, as they have to go through those verifications steps.

That means all AI code would simply be rejected. This saves time.
