Self-hosting there are some ways to fight back, or depending on your opinions on Cloudflare it seems they’re fairly effective at blocking the AI crawlers.
How do I do this? I don’t mind (and may prefer) to host not at home. My main concern with GH is that you become an AI snack whether you like it or not.

In what way? Anything on the public internet is likely being used for AI training. I guess by using free GitHub you can’t object to training.
Then again anywhere you host you sort of run into the same problem. You can use robots.txt, but things don’t have to listen to it.

Github, acquired by Microsoft, is now forcing AI on its user base.

That’s one of my main drivers to stay away from GH

Yep, on top of simply blocking, if you’re self hosting or using cloudflare, you can enable AI tarpits.
