Personally I thought that was a nonsensical argument from them, as they could've just put in the policy to declare that AI was used, but just not mention the specific one. Better yet, IMO, would've been to ban all non-self hosted AI use, which basically cuts out all the corporate AI's.
Though even with the self hosted models available, the ethical and copyright risk remains, so I'd still have personally opted for a total ban.
Well that was also discussed, the person who suggested not having an AI disclosure was against it being used for advertising, but was also open to having a general one that didn't allow the company/model. Not sure that discussion has concluded yet btw.
The other devs were generally against any form of disclosure, saying that they didn't want to 'shame' developers who used it.
The discussion was locked and then removed from public view due to public backlash.
