i had muscled through an AI system, and was holding the warp point on the other side. the system wasn't so great for me, but they could breath most of the atmospheres (oxy, i think). I was not going to bother colonizing until i could get a stronger hold, but they kept sending these colony ships through the warp point I was holding. eventually I got wise and captured their colony ships instead of destroying them, and recolonized the planets with a population that could breath on them.
If you ever have the oportunity, let the AI spend its resources helping you. a resource thats spent by the AI and aids you is twice as valuable as a resource thats simply denied.
