Site moderator here. This is a good question and one where I’m not that confident of the answer. One challenges is that there are going to be posts of this genre that are pretty interesting e.g. GPT can write Quines now (GPT-4). The issue is maybe that they’re low barrier to entry and easy to make, so you can get more low quality ones.
My guess is that for now users should feel free to attempt to post them to LessWrong, and we’ll handle them in the same way we handle all posts for quality/relevance/etc. We’re building new tools for moderation right now in general (see LW Team is adjusting moderation policy).
First posts will be subject to more scrutiny and might be rejected. “I spoke to GPT-4” will likely have to be very good to be approved as first post.
Automatically applied rate limits will be applied to users who post a lot of content that gets very low karma (I’m hesitant with this, but depending on volume, might be the right tool).

Isn’t the shortform feature perfect for this?
