On one hand, LLMs aren’t people and attributing code to them is incorrect.

On the other, what they output is ultimately a (complicated) modification of the training data they’ve ingested, so people should made sure to attribute any code that’s been generated using an LLM trained on BSD sources appropriately.

Agreed - we need a different designation than "co-author."

I recall the Linux kernel uses "Assisted-by" lines or something like that, which sounds about right.

That's right. I think this is The Way:

I really like this idea. I'm going to take this up and do this instead on my PRs.

Nothing stop to us to introduce something like `Co-authored-by:` but for AI, like `AI-Assisted-by: <harness/model>` / `AI-Paired-by: <harness/model>` / `AI-Copiloted-by: <harness/model>` / `AI-Automated-by: <harness/model>`.
