I honestly do not understand why anyone would ever for any reason submit AI-generated code to any FOSS project.

What's the motivation behind that kind of behavior? What do people get out of it?

They think the code is good and makes the project better? They want to test/prove their "skills"? Its partnof their day job?

Basically the same reason anyone contributes, just they got sold a bag of rocks and told how amazing a hammet it is.
