    So in a nutshell:

    • Dev uses AI and discloses AI commits.
    • Dev gets harrased by bunch of anti AI manchildren
    • Dev gets pissed off and removes AI disclousures

    Mob be like: How dare you!?

      Interesting, you must be reading an article based in a different reality. The news and interview I read shows that he:

      • Used AI, and hid his use of it by stripping the Claude co-authorship tag

      so I configured Claude code to skip the co-authorship line in git commits.

      • A user notices an increase in AI assisted commits and opens an issue asking about

      • Dev after being called out on it responds petulantly that he already hid what he was doing and what are you gonna do about it

      Clanker-lovers be like: I see no problem here

      And, again this is only coming out because GitHub added a co-authorship tag to AI assisted commits, meaning if GitHub hadn’t forced the transparency, this would have all flown under the radar unnoticed.
