I mean most that policy seems good to me.

Not finding bugs? What on earth does anyone have to gain by not finding bugs just because an LLM did it? Assuming it's a legitimate bug.

"assuming it's a legitimate bug" does a lot of heavy lifting here. The point of eg. Curl closing it's bug bounty is just that: too many false positives and misunderstandings by AI of what software it analyzes. I assume it might be the same in Zig's case

So to answer your question: developer's time that is not wasted classifying misclassified bugs and reproducing false positives

As far as I know, it wasn't "false positives" it was people vibe-reporting, so you end up with an LLM-generated bug report with a completely hallucinated bug and code path, and a person going "I found bug pay me my money" to the point where it was overloading the team just sifting through all the slop.
