If the core issue was having too many contributions, wouldn't it have been a better idea to address that? Framed in this way, it looks like a scaling issue and not an AI issue.

I'm not saying scaling up is what the project wants to do, I'm saying that not wanting to handle more of the things you already do is a scaling issue.

And I don't know whether that premise is true, either. They could be banning AI because they don't like AI. But if they are banning AI to solve a scaling issue, I'd feel that the approach is misguided.
