People should be doing this regardless of drama. No reason to provide free advertising for trillion dollar corporations. Generated-by trailers are only relevant when contributing to third party projects, in that case disclosure is polite.
- julianeon 5mo agoIf Claude is actually good enough to commit to rsync, of course I'm going to look at that and think "it's good enough for my side project too." And (benefit to companies aside) that is info it is useful to know, if it's true.
- amiga386 5mo agoYeah, this is why it's obnoxious and this is why scummy marketers do it. If you don't aggressively turn it off, they leech an implicit endorsement out of you. - Sent from my iPhone
- AlienRobot 5mo agoIndeed. The best endorsement is done explicitly by obnoxious users. I use Linux, btw.

- Aurornis 5mo agoThe value of the Claude attribution is that you can tell at a glance who used AI. I don't care about the advertising angle. We all know Claude by now. I want some indicator that AI was used.
- matheusmoreira 5mo agoAnd why do you want to know that? So you can call our projects slop? Ostracize us?
- codygman 5mo agoSo that the AI model that generated code can get proper credit and we'll know to use (or not use it) next time.
- matheusmoreira 5mo agoThat's not at all what someone who wants to "tell at a glance who used AI" actually wants to know.
- Aurornis 5mo agoYou don't need an AI attribution tag to recognize slop. In my experience reviewing PRs, the slop-pushers are most aggressive about stripping the AI attribution anyway. It's the normal devs who use a little bit of AI who leave it in. The tag is helpful because AI authorship is different than the human authorship. When you work with a project or team for long enough you start to trust certain people and their intuition, but when they start submitting AI-produced code you have to reset and review it like AI code. I use these tools a lot, too. But I want to know where the code came from so I can review it accordingly. The source matters. > Ostracize us? I don't know why you're so defensive. If AI wrote the code just be honest about it. If you outsourced the code writing to some guy named Bob on Fiverr, I'd want to know that too.
