Re:OSS projects banning AI-generated contributions

I don't see how a project getting hundreds of entirely AI generated (not just "assisted") PRs per day means it has an active community. Scrolling through the PRs and issues on that repository, I can't find a single piece of text that reads like it was written by a human. I often find myself wondering if such projects are actually used by any real people at all, as whenever I try using them myself, I always run into very obvious bugs that go months without being fixed despite the extremely high commit activity.
If I start my own project today, and set up 50 different AI agents to commit to it in a loop 24/7, should I claim my project has an active community because of it?
