Who's name do you put down on a code commit? Yours, or the LLM? If it's yours then it is your code and you are responsible for knowing all about it. If it's the LLM then what do we even need you for?

I've worked on plenty of code where the original author is long gone. Not sure that holds water at all.

So an LLM is an author that writes code and immediately leaves.

Lol, just cause your name is on it doesn’t mean it’s your code. You didn’t write it. You don’t own the copyrights. You couldn’t sue someone if they stole it. It’s not your code.

Yeah, I get that it means “you’re responsible for it”, but the phrasing irks me.
