- dmd 6mo agoSo turn it off. "includeCoAuthoredBy": false, in your settings.json.
- nullderef 6mo agoThey changed it to `attribution`, but yes you can customize this
- Pxtl 6mo agoWhy not? What's wrong with honesty?
- dec0dedab0de 6mo agoYeah I much prefer it commit the agent, and I would also like if it committed the model I was using at the time.
- andoando 6mo agoI guess Im sometimes dishonest when it suits me
- pc86 6mo agoIt's only dishonest not to include Claude in commit/PR attribution if it's also dishonest not to include StackOverflow, or VSCode, or VIM, or Windows, or any of the other tools you used to complete the work!
- flykespice 6mo agoThat's a so invalid analogy, editors are effectively tools just like as a hammer because they require constant human input to produce something, the human is in constant control over the whole production process so they don't need to give attribution to the individual tools they used to build a house... Unlike a black magic box where you just tell it to build something and it does all the production for you while you sit back.
- kuschku 6mo agoIf I copy a clean solution from stackoverflow, I put it into a separate file with the appropriate license header. IMO that's the absolute minimum degree of separation that any imported code, whether from StackOverflow or AI, should have. Even if I then edit it to adapt and modify it, I'll just add my copyright header, but I can't replace/remove the original one.
- rurban 6mo agoBecause some maintainers are hysterical
- Monotoko 6mo agoThere's some repos I'm unashamedly keeping alive with Claude alone and he gets co-authorship - basically stuff in "maintenance mode" that I still use that I've forked and had Claude drag it into 2026 A quick PR where I've found the bug myself in the code, and ask Claude to write the fix because it's faster, and verified it - I don't include Claude's co-authorship.
- hnbad 6mo agoClaude is not a person and AI doesn't gain authorship let alone copyright. Unless you literally vibe coded it, Claude is just a tool. This is the equivalent of Apple appending "Sent from my iPhone" as a signature to outgoing emails. It's advertising tool use, not providing attribution. The intent isn't to disclose that AI was used in creating the code, the intent is to advertise the AI product.
- VectorVault 6mo agoHmm... It's an interesting question: at what point, in a conversation, document, image, story, does human authorship end and AI authorship begin? How would you know? Is it a tell tale or is it advertising?
- flykespice 6mo ago> Unless you literally vibe coded it, Claude is just a tool. Stop with the selective bias, two are birds of the same feather, they are using a "tool" to write the code for them from whatever (questionable) mashed up source they are trained from, in the same way someone is using AI as a "tool" to fabricate their curriculum and cheat a job > The intent isn't to disclose that AI was used in creating the code, the intent is to advertise the AI product That is a wild mental gymnastic to justify dishonestly submitting code you didn't write (or own) as yours. It has nothing to do with advertisement but proper attribution, you know it.
- m132 6mo agoBut I want to see Claude on the contributor list so that I immediately know if I should give the rest of the repo any attention!
