That would be true even if they didn't use AI to reproduce it.
The problem being addressed by the Linux foundation isn't the use of copyrighted work in developer contribution, it's the assumption that the code was authored by them at all just because it's submitted in their name and tagged as verified.
Does that make sense?

Yes, that makes sense. People have always been able to intentionally commit copyright infringement. However, it has historically been fairly difficult to unintentionally commit copyright infringement. That’s no longer the case. AI makes it very easy to unintentionally commit copyright infringement. That’s a good reason to ban it outright.
