That's not a good argument, I'm sorry. A lot of people spent time and effort designing and creating something; credit, or reference is the least one could do.

If it's not done, even in a comment inside the HTML... well, it would be nice if it were :)

Not a good argument for what?

For dismissing crediting someone for their work based on an appeal for the majority

I never said we should not credit people. In fact nowhere in the thread have I expressed a single should or ought style opinion on anything.

Rather I'm pointing out that this is some weird "back in my day things used to be X" where we're still in that day and I can clearly see with my own two eyes that things aren't X. Whatever other ills can be laid at llm code generations feet, icons not getting credited isn't one of them.

Fair enough, I may have seen implications that weren't there. So, I'm sorry.

All good.
