Realistically, it’s because they don’t like wasting their limited (usually unpaid) time reviewing untested AI PRs which may or may not do something useful for the project, publicity is irrelevant.
No, I did not have to do that. Why do you ask?
Just saying that the sentiment I’ve seen expressed by open source developers towards gen AI ranges from cautious optimism to banning it. I’ve yet to see any open source team express that gen AI has been useful to them.

Each time the team behind an open source project talks about AI, it’s carefully optimistic at best. But more frequent are news of AI being banned.

Probably because open source and enshittification don’t belong together

It’s more frequent because making a “NO AI” announcement is cheap publicity.
I won’t go as far as to say it’s virtue signalling but…devs aren’t dumb, they know these game news content farms are going to pick up the story

Open-source projects don’t have anything to sell. They don’t care terribly much for the publicity.
