How does an "I didn't use AI" pledge provide any assurance/provenance that submitted code wasn't copied from an AGPLv3 reference?

It doesn’t, it provides an assurance (but not provenance) you didn’t use AI.

Assuring you didn’t include any AGPLv3 code in your contribution is exactly the same kind of assurance. It also doesn’t provide any provenance.

Conflating assurance with provenance is bogus because the former is about making a representation that, if false, exposes the person making it to liability. For most situations that’s sufficient that provenance isn’t needed.
