I don't care about the advertising angle. We all know Claude by now. I want some indicator that AI was used.
As I said, disclosure is polite when contributing code to third party projects which will undergo human review.
No need for such things in one's own projects.
why do you so many people want to hide who the real author is?
we should be very weary of anyone claiming they’re the author of something when they’re absolutely not. if jon wrote a book and i take credit, that’s shady as hell.
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.

I don't see a need for an attribution line in this case.
This is fucking insane. How does this correlate with productivity in any way? The results are all that matters, who cares how you got there?
> The results are all that matters, who cares how you got there?
That's what I can't for the life of me figure out. Bad code is bad code regardless of who is writing it. Adding a disclaimer about how it was written is meaningless. Hell, it could say "Written by the Easter bunny" and that would have 0 impact on it's utility.
I think many people in this camp have political or ethical concerns and want to avoid contributing to or supporting the companies behind frontier-AI tools. Or they have moral or technical concerns and want to boycott usage to maintain their principles.
It should be fairly widely known at this point.
> The value of the Claude attribution is that you can tell at a glance who used AI.
Specifies none of that, which is why I was asking the question.
> technical concerns
Which is exactly why I asked what I did. What technical concerns could possibly exist if the code is good? What does adding that attribution remove or add to technical concerns that you can't already see from the code itself?
