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

Do they normally tag the other tools they use? Or does AI need special treatment for some reason?

the AI is the only tool they use that is both non-deterministic and whose output is not often manually inspected and reviewed. So yes, obviously AI does need special treatment and this should be clear to anyone who does any of this.

pre-LLM AIs are used for generating FPGA binaries I think. lots of optimization techniques are technically derived from AI researches, just not the controversial developments thereof
