I'm pretty pro-AI, but I find it very amusing that every single time an open source project enacts no-AI policy, someone will chime in and explain how it will be outcompeted by the yes-AI version, while in reality it never happens.
Will they? Will someone have enough time, skill and dedication to maintain it? I don’t think using AI will by itself make a big enough difference, it’s still a lot of work to maintain a project

No. My impression is that most AI PRs aren't made to improve anything, but to inflate the requester's reputation as an "AI" expert.

There's also this misconception that more features == better...
If people want to fork at and work in their own manner then that's fine, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't protect the project that you're personally working on
don't mind if you do 'guv, don't mind at all.
Go ahead, we're all still waiting for these "AI-improved" projects to appear.
Meanwhile I'll keep using SDL from the official maintainers which have been working on it for decades.
