It’s arguably not much of slop, indeed. I prefer projects that ban all kinds of AI contributions, bugreports included. This is my stance, and it will not be changing.
Exim does that, and would’ve been my first choice, but its configuration is way too complicated for my tastes. OpenSMTPD does not have an anti-AI policy, but I don’t see anything suspicious there, and it’s config & filter system is nicer than either postfixs or Exims.
Luckily for me, the smtpd is the easiest part of the system to replace, so if opensmtpd turns to slop, I can trivially migrate to Exim, or whatever else is available at the time with an anti-AI policy.
The comments here are somewhat pessimistic-looking for a complete anti-AI stance.
I suppose that since the baddies will use AI to find ways to abuse your code, you probably would want to do the same to be ahead of them? AI is here now (as are guns, for example), and unless the State declares a monopoly on the use of AI (like it does, in many countries, on the use of firearms), with an obligation to protect citizens from AI helped attacks, there’s going to be a difficulty here, I think.
Not trying to convince you, not at all. Just stating some thoughts of mine.
