I never care about AI usage disclosure, because I don't believe that human produced code is necessarily better than AI produced code, unless it's someone I personally know.

People need to be responsible for code they commit and push anyways. This has never changed. Whether the code is written by hand, by their cat walking over keyboard, or by AI, is not my concern.

A project's code quality can decline for all kinds of reasons. I don't think it's productive to laser-focus on whether it's produced by AI or not. That's a distraction. If a person just want to find excuse to criticize AI, and another person wants to fight back and defend AI, sure, go for it. But that's not how you would want to assess a project's code quality.

People should be doing this regardless of drama. No reason to provide free advertising for trillion dollar corporations. Generated-by trailers are only relevant when contributing to third party projects, in that case disclosure is polite.

Is that a bad thing? I mean from the perspective of Anthropic's marketing department sure, but if agents are just another type of tool in developer's tool belt - as I see people recently like to claim - attribution feels kinda weird. In the end it is the developer who is responsible for their commits.

“Don’t get mad at people for doing something unethical or immoral, or they’ll do something unethical or immoral!”

Disabling attribution of LLM-generated code is fraud, because you’re saying you wrote the code.

Of course that fits right in with the use of an LLM to generate code in the first place, since what it’s actually doing is regurgitating its inputs stripped of any license and copyright notice.

I mean, I don't think commits are the place for tool attributions. I want to know what the change was, I'm not really interested in your tool selection (put that in the PR if it's relevant). It'd be just as irrelevant to see "written on my macbook in neovim"

I think it will be funny to watch people lose their collective minds when open source maintainers start requiring llm use.

This idea that the community can try to pressure an open source maintainers about the tools they use based off of kneejerk political reactions is so offensive.

Let's go the opposite way: "sorry I'm closing this pr because it didn't use an llm."

I'd be willing to be that an undisclosed LLM disclosure will follow a developer around for the rest of their career
