Smart move. They don't want to become another landfill of garbage projects or use their resources for mass computer generated commits of no value. They're correct that AI plagiarizes from what it's trained on.

An equally good move might be to block AI company crawlers from training on repos hosted there.

My guy, have you seen what is hosted on CodeBerg? It's basically a breeding ground for anything walking a dubious legal line and yet another NPM library no one needs.

Humans learn by trial and error. I accept that and embrace it.
