That's not as good of an argument as you think. If you copied entire functions or files wholesale, it would be fair to attribute that, even if you "reviewed" it.

My personal feeling so far is, seeing claude code as co-author in my commits inevitably makes me not pay as much attention to the commit. And removing that forces me to really recognize that, hey this is my work. And I'd better make sure this is of the same quality that I would do otherwise. Kind of like a psychological hack maybe? But it seems to work better.
Overall, this is just a series of steps I'm taking to maintain my agency in my work.
But I would not ever call the StackOverflow user a "co-author" on my commits.
I think that distinction matters.
