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

Not to defend AI, but those can generate noise.

Also the human should be held responsible for the submitted patch, not the toaster

I expect to get downvoted for saying this, but I see this argument a lot.

To me, it makes sense to include the model that was used because it makes it easier to identify the source.

Some people view it as an advert, which I guess makes some sense.

I just view it as a reference label. Its basically just citing the model used.

Its like saying adding in authorship and references is just noise, which doesnt make sense to me. Obivously, a model cant own the code and the human author should accept responsibility.

Yeah I kinda see it that way too. To me it's a disclosure thing. Probably it's so prevalent now that people don't feel the need for that disclosure?

You're right the transparency is important
