I hate AI but it's too late. People are misusing it everywhere. The brutalist path forward is making them accountable for it under their own name instead of making excuses.

They can make excuses anyway and making the AI contribution a secret does literally nothing to change that.

I don't hate AI, my favorite/most-used app uses AI assistance. I respect that the developer is transparent about it. I trust the developer more because they are transparent.

Developers who keep AI usage a secret are untrustworthy. Developers who need to keep secrets are bad developers.
