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
