Co-author is so strange. Like, would anyone credit an IDE or even a script generating code as co-author? Even legally, tools don't have the ontological requirement to be credited as author.
Pretty sure it's just because if the tool generates the commit, it auto-adds itself as co-author. Like the iPhone emails that say "sent from iPhone"
I always tell Claude to turn that off. It looks incredibly tacky. I'll leave an agents.md file in the repo if I don't care about people knowing AI helped me.
Waiting for the day I get an email from someone that says "co-authored by my iphone"
Yes, but the equivalent of "sent from Invasive·marketing·of·some·MUA™" would be "generated with Ludicrious·Laughable·Mockery™".
That is, the MUAs don’t add "co-authored by myMUA".
