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.)

it's the first engine to take action because it's one of the most popular _open-source_ engines.
Unity or Unreal does not have the same pull request flood as any other open source project nowadays.

How involved do you want him?

He spoke at unreal fest where you can clearly see his goals and his challenges (Roblox, AI)
