Personally, I don't think It matters what their stance is. People/bots pushing slop are just going to get better about hiding it and probably never disclose AI was used. While authors using AI to constructively review their work will responsibly disclose that AI was used to assist with the BIP, probably get lambasted and shamed for it the first time around and then fearfully choose not to disclose that AI was used ever again. This is a new skill that we need to learn to wield responsibly while simultaneously becoming better at identifying BS, slop proposals when we see them.

I wonder how much better we will ever get. It seems possible to me that we might not get much better at identifying slop without thinking it through.
I agree that ultimately there's probably not much that can be done to stop people from using LLMs to draft subtly worthless material, but at least a qualification like this in the BIP allows editors to dismiss it without too much arguing with a person who doesn't necessarily understand the words in their own BIP.
