And why do you want to know that? So you can call our projects slop? Ostracize us?
As I said, disclosure is polite when contributing code to third party projects which will undergo human review.
No need for such things in one's own projects.
This can be largely assumed to be true for any open source code. It's kinda the point of open source.
If there's one thing I learned not to do in open source, it's to assume nonsense like that.
Even with coding agents gaining popularity, many humans still look at the code at some point.
why do you so many people want to hide who the real author is?
we should be very weary of anyone claiming they’re the author of something when they’re absolutely not. if jon wrote a book and i take credit, that’s shady as hell.
because no person can read every line of code written in software they use, or track every commit made to a project. Integrity and authorship matters. If a person lies or obfuscates the origin of what they produce, an article, software, what have you they're doing it for a reason, otherwise they would be honest. That's not prejudice, that's recognizing deceit. And you don't eat fruit from a rotten tree.
Ask Claude to do it for you.
> they're doing it for a reason
And you concluded that the reason was they were pretenders who can't hack it.
That's your prejudice. Not interested in helping you categorize me, thanks.
The tag is helpful because AI authorship is different than the human authorship. When you work with a project or team for long enough you start to trust certain people and their intuition, but when they start submitting AI-produced code you have to reset and review it like AI code.
I use these tools a lot, too. But I want to know where the code came from so I can review it accordingly. The source matters.
> Ostracize us?
I don't know why you're so defensive. If AI wrote the code just be honest about it.
If you outsourced the code writing to some guy named Bob on Fiverr, I'd want to know that too.

In the absence of such an entitlement, not volunteering to disclose the tools used is not fraud.
If LLM generates some code but I edit it, does it become my own work? How much editing must be done?
How large is "largely" ? Exactly how many bits of information must come from my fingers tapping the keyboard in order for me to qualify for authorship? Be precise.
If I write something but the LLM polishes it up a bit, is it still my work? Or is it AI generated?
I'm not going to define substantive for you. That's something you should feel obligated to research and learn about yourself; anything less is dishonest.
So "consider copyright" isn't really strengthening your position.
There are some precedents and rulings related to copyright and AI, so we have at least some rubric by which "authorship" can be determined. But when it comes to AI doing polishing of existing code - that is less certain.
But you and others in this thread seem hellbent on stigmatizing it to the point you take it as evidence of someone's incompetence. So I'm not at all sympathetic to your "requirements".
That's really all anyone's asking of you: enough respect for your fellow programmers that you avoid pre-judging them. If you can't do that, then what do we care about your "requirements"?
