In my personal projects I also require all contributors to disclose rather they’ve used an editor with any autocomplete features enabled.

Heh, that's a great way to make a point, but right now AI is nowhere near what a traditional editor autocomplete is. Yes you can use it that way, but it's by no means limited to that. If you think of AI as a fancy autocomplete, that's a good personal philosophy, but there are plenty of people that aren't using it that way

Notably, tab completion is an explicltly called-out exception to this policy, as detailed in the changed docs.

Autocomplete is, for the most part, a syntactic tool. AI attempts to guide the semantics of the code generated

The line isn’t as clear as you might think, eg jetbrains has a mini on-device neural net powered autocomplete:
