I think you'll find that even distros that are generally anti-AI and don't allow its use in their own projects are pragmatic about not being able to influence other people's software (for instance, Gentoo's AI policy flat-out states that it doesn't prohibit packaging AI-coded or AI-related software, although there's been some discussion about marking it so that the user can make an informed decision).
