Explain how AGPL would prevent AI from being trained on it or AI-generated code competing with it. I have used AGPL for a decade and still not sure.

It wouldn't -- AGPL code that is picked up would also just get "fair used" into new software.

That said, AGPL as a trend was a huge closing of the spigot of free F/OSS code for companies to use and not contribute back to.

Yes, I hope it was a trend. People were judging me when I first started using it over 10 years ago.
