Completely performative.
You build your OS atop thousands of open source packages, many of which contain AI generated code. Are you going to audit them one by one and remove offending packages? What about the ones you won't remove because the OS would be irreparably broken?

  I don't think it's performative.
  They aren't saying that AI produces bad code or is terrible for the world in some way.
  It's mainly just resulting in a lot of PRs that they don't have enough time to review or features they don't plan to add.
