I'm trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.

AI is quite fit for the task of understanding what might be the purpose of code

Disagree.

I don’t know how some non-AI tool could be better for such task.

ClamAV has been filling a somewhat similar use case for a long time, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it "AI".

I guess bayesian filters like email providers use to filter spam could be considered "AI" (though old-school AI, not the kind of stuff that's such a bubble now) and may possibly be applicable to your use case.
