Interesting initiative. What are the guiding reasons behind these lists?

I can't think of a functional reason for a no-AI policy: if it runs, it runs, regardless of who or what made it.

Also, even if you avoid AI-generated slop, you can't really avoid the human-generated or human+AI-generated slop that passes your filters.

Still, I can definitely think of good non-functional reasons: provenance, accountability, proof-of-work, encouraging people to write code themselves, empirically tracking how humans develop codebases, etc.
