I am using a different approach.

`user.email` is always my email.

`user.name` is either my account name, or model name like `gpt-5.5-high`.

I can easily filter & blame which line was written by me or some specific AI

Inserting authorship claims is incredibly tacky. It’s today’s “Intel Inside” sticker. I don’t want your stickers on the computer I bought.

“Sent from my iPhone” isn’t an authorship claim.

kelseydh•40m ago
On the flip side there are people who believe that LLM-assisted coding changes require attribution in git history.
silverwind•9m ago
It's definitely helpful to know whether a PR was AI-assisted or not and the git attribution line is a simple and effective way of communicating that.

I also recommend specifying model name and version so the maintainer knows upfront the level of slop they are dealing with.

What’s the problem with intel inside? That’s perfectly normal.

I don't want my computer to look like it's racing in NASCAR.

AuthAuth•17m ago
Sent from my iPhone is worse than intel inside or claude in the commits in my opinion.

There is something so gross about injecting an advertising message into every single communication a user has on their device.

Honestly extremely pathetic by a trillion dollar corporation that has a massive, undemocratic, say in how technology is developed in this country.

Microsoft should be broken up into a dozen different companies and it's quite clear they violated their consent decree from the US DOJ a few decades later, so they should get punished extra hard. Maybe nationalize Excel putting it in the public domain for starters.

dyauspitr•35m ago
Yeah break up all the big companies so Chinese state sponsored behemoths can take over everything. This isn’t the 90s where Americans only competed with other Americans.
alehlopeh•32m ago
GP didn’t say all the big tech companies. Just Microslop.
starfallg•32m ago
Nope, just break up the one that has been consistently found to be abusing their market position. Microsoft has been embroiled in this since the 90s.
Waterluvian•28m ago
Honestly not sure I find that prospect worse than the American status quo. At least the Chinese regime is a rational actor.
Waterluvian•36m ago
All the people there asking the simple question of why it got changed and getting ignored.
xigoi•20m ago
We all know the answer anyway.
chao-•58s ago
There ought to be decent number of people within Microsoft who have "Copilot usage" as a KPI. I don't think this was gamesmanship on their part (no sarcasm, I truly do not suspect malice), but I'm sure if it could have slipped in without backlash, they would have enjoyed seeing their line go up.

Default to ON is a complete dik move
jwilliams•6m ago
Are they apologizing? Was it a bug? Why did they make this decision and what's the end goal? It's so unclear from the message - as evidenced by a lot of the responses.
zaptrem•3m ago
Seems pretty clear, Claude and Codex were getting a lot of free publicity by instructing their models to do the same and MS wanted similar results. However, a bug caused this to be applied to all commits instead of all Copilot-influenced commits.
