I think we should treat AI-generated posts the same as any other post. If the content of the post is on-topic, coherent, and adds to the conversation, it should be allowed, and if it does not, it should not.

I am a heavy user of AI at work, and use it to help generate content. If the output of the assistant from my prompt is exactly what I need, then I will use exactly what the AI assistant provided. However, most of the time, the AI assistant provides output that needs to be modified, and I will either make a follow-up prompt or will modify the output myself before using it as work product. This allows me to be more efficient at my job, which is what is currently expected of me, specifically because of AI.

Any output from AI is the result of whatever prompt the user created, and to my knowledge, according to the TOS, the user owns the output of any prompts they create.

I know that some are concerned about AI-generated "shit posts" however, existing rules already disallow these types of low-value/effort posts, and the fact that a post is generated by AI doesn't really change that.

As a side note, I think some are afraid that posts being made by AI will result in fewer eyeballs looking at those banners below everyone's posts, which makes them less valuable, although I don't think many will say that part outloud.
