GitHub outages are most likely entirely unrelated to anything AI, and 100% caused by their move from on-prem hosting to Azure.
They have a very unusual workload in that they need to write to disk a lot more than what is typical, making them harder to host for a generic cloud provider. And also Azure sucks so bad it's almost impressive GitHub has any uptime at all!
