Yeah I agree. At the end of the day, the question boils down to whether or not the contribution is helping the maintainer, right?
As a maintainer, if it's easier for me to ask an AI to do it, then I will do that. Now depends on what "easier" is. Maybe a question of trust (if I don't trust a random contributor, I may as well do it myself), maybe a question of testing it (if a contributor can show me that it works on their 5 devices I don't own, it may have value).
But the fact that it was written by AI is not the biggest factor, IMO. Proven by the fact that if the AI writes exactly what I wanted, then I will be happy to merge it.
