Here's the anti-AI policy we have in the Linux man-pages project, in
case you want to copy it.
<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/CONTRIBUTING.d/ai>

I'll paste it below in its entirety.


Have a lovely day!

Name
 AI - artificial intelligence policy
Description
 It is expressly forbidden to contribute to this project any
 content that has been created or derived with the assistance of
 AI tools.
 This includes AI assistive tools used in the contributing
 process, even if such tools do not directly generate the
 contributed code but are used to derive the contribution.  For
 example, AI linters, AI static analyzers, and AI tools that
 summarize input are forbidden.
    Exceptions
 As an exception to the above, AI assistive tools which don't
 have any influence on the contribution other than enabling the
 contributor to work with their computer (e.g., screen reader,
 text to speech) --where the contributor verifies the output to
 the best of their ability-- are allowed, and the contributor
 need not disclose their use.
    Concerns
 Copyright concerns.
  At this point, the regulations concerning copyright of
  generated contents are still emerging worldwide.  Using
  such material could pose a danger of copyright
  violations, but it could also weaken claims to copyright
  and void the guarantees given by copyleft licensing.
 Quality concerns.
  Popular LLMs are really great at generating plausibly
  looking, but meaningless content.  They pose both the
  risk of lowering the quality of a project, and of
  requiring an unfair human effort from contributors and
  maintainers to review contributions and detect the
  mistakes resulting from the use of AI.
 Ethical concerns.
  The business side of AI boom is creating serious ethical
  concerns.  Among them:
  -  Commercial AI projects are frequently indulging in
     blatant copyright violations to train their models.
  -  Their operations are causing concerns about the huge
     use of energy, water, and other natural resources.
  -  The advertising and use of AI models has caused
     a significant harm to employees and reduction of
     service quality.
  -  LLMs have been empowering all kinds of spam and scam
     efforts.
Caveats
 This policy can be revisited, should a case be made over such
 a tool that does not pose copyright, quality, or ethical
 concerns.
