But why should AI then be attributed if it is merely a tool that is used?

• yrds96 6mo ago
  AI tools can do the entire job from finding the problem, implementing and testing it. It's different from the regular single purpose static tools.

  it makes sense to keep track of what model wrote what code to look for patterns, behaviors, etc.

  It isn't? > AI agents MUST NOT add Signed-off-by tags. Only humans can legally certify the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). They mention an Assisted-by tag, but that also contains stuff like "clang-tidy". Surely you're not interpreting that as people "attributing" the work to the linter?

  Having an honesty based tag could be only way to monitor impact or get after a fix in code bases if things go south. That is at the moment: - Nobody knows for sure what agents might add and their long term effects on codebases. - It's at best unclear that AI content in a codebase can be reliably determined automatically. - Even if it's not malicious, at least some of its contributions are likely to be deleterious and pass undetected by human review.

  This is a good point but I'd take it in the opposite direction from the implication, we should document which tools were used in general, it'd be a neat indicator of what people use.
