Personally, I wouldn't (as a maintainer) take a decision to reject code based
on if I feel it is generated by AI. It is much easier to rule on the quality of
the contribution itself, and as noted, at least so far the AI only
contributions are very probably not going to clear the barrier of being useful
in their own right.
We are a large, visible project, but I think it is weirder to have a policy and
fail to enforce it (e.g. don't use NumPy for military purposes, never us an AI
tool etc). than to not have a specific policy at all.

The licensing issue is complex and it is very likely that it will not
get a definitive answer until a lawsuit centered around this issue is
litigated in court. There are several lawsuits involving similar issues
ongoing, but any resolution is likely to take several years.
Providing other, much more pragmatic and easier to gauge, reasons to
reject AI generated contributions, I was trying to sidestep the
licensing issue completely.
If there are other reasons why auto-generated contributions should be
rejected, there is no need to solve the much harder problem of
licensing: we don't want them regardless of the licensing issue.
Cheers,
Dan
