This could easily be circumvented by having the AI generate an explanation of the chosen portion of code and have the human rewrite it in their own words. It is much easier, imo, to swap clauses and put synonyms in place of other words within existing writing then it is to synthesise new text.

AI slop PR's aren't really generated by people willing to do even this much effort.

True, but the avenue is always open and the AI code is still present.

That I think is also an important issue if a project wants to keep AI out of its code.
