Linus doesn't want to add guidelines to not fuel any side of the whole discussion [...]

Sounds like "don't feed the trolls". And "don't waste time with discussing spam".

Apart from that, if GenAI could write good code, it would be acceptable. The thing to do is to scrutinize code for looking plausible while really being bullshit, or subtly wrong.
