There's a bunch of commits that have "supported by AI claude." as well. Whatever that's supposed to mean.

the lesson here is dont put those comments into your commits. use the tools you want to write code and just use them. it's nobody else's business. if someone overuses AI (which is common) it's quite obvious anyway

These "Co-Authored-By" messages are added automatically by Claude Code when it makes commits on its own, although you just need to instruct it not to do so.

Agreed. It's impossible to enforce a user to disclose whether their commit has any AI influence or output anyway. Hard forks like this are just a short-sighted reaction.

If the person behind this fork has been active in FOSS or commercial development at all in the last 3 years, The odds they've never come across undisclosed AI-generated code that looked reasonable has to be close to zero.

> it's nobody else's business

Human origin certification is coming. It might be hard to enforce, but you should probably respect the intent if a project tries to enforce it.

It’s someone else's business when you want your works to have a relationship with the world. Or were you content with talking to nobody?

im required to disclose AI use in my own OSS projects on github? no, I'm not

Whether it's someone else's business that you're using AI does not require you to do anything in particular. This is a discussion on the relevance of motivations.
