Moderation is needed exactly because it's not a walled garden, but an open community. We need rules to protect communities.

Humans are no longer the only entities that produce code. If you want to build community, fine.
Generated code is not a new thing. It's the first time we are expected (by some) to treat code generators as humans though.

Imagine if you built a bot that would crawl github, run a linter and create PRs on random repos for the changes proposed by a linter - you'd be banned pretty soon on most of them and maybe on Github itself. That's the same thing in my opinion.
