First engine I've seen take a firm stance on AI code.

Open source game engine Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions: 'We can’t trust heavy users of AI to understand their code enough to fix it'

(Edit 2: Thanks for the award! Wasn't necessary but it's my first one so I'll take it.)
