If AI is so good, why do they always want to hide that they’re using it.

To me, it's just an advert for different companies. Realistically, 90% of software will have some assistance from an LLM, just as it does from a compiler, a static analyser, etc etc. Interesting they don't see gcc worthy of noting as an assisting tool, but that coccinnelle is worth mentioning!

Agreed. I don't mind an "assisted by AI" tag or something, but I'm not a big fan of when it's like "Co-engineered by the latest Claude^TM Opus^TM 5.5"
