Meh, AI use should be attributed, so if things fuck up, and eventually keep fucking up, one can do root cause analysis.

No, it's essentially removing all possibility of "My agent messed up" as an excuse on a pull request. A developer will take complete and sole ownership of a pull request regardless of the origin of the code.

“My agent messed up” is already an invalid excuse and removing that tag isn’t going to make people stop using it.
