I tend to agree, sure. This doesn't make the PR worse or something.
On the matter of curl yeah I've seen they got actual help that way. Here is the problem. If you are an open-source maintainer there is some proportion of good contributors (most) and some proportion of low-effort spammers (few). AI is a force multiplier for sheer volume. So the spammers all pick it up because they do not care about quality. It can be used carefully to good effect, true, but now your mix of incoming volume goes from "lots of good contributions and a little to spam" to "lots of good contributions and lots of AI stuff" with the latter being mostly slop.
So open-source maintainers with limited time do what all humans do: they fall back on heuristics and adopt a bias against AI output, because now dealing with the spammers on a case-by-case basis takes way more time and just tossing AI stuff becomes easier. Like all heuristics it is imperfect, and I don't know if it's the best way, but I get why they do it.
