"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Work requires that github copilot be on, and most of the time I ignore it.
Recently they made it so that if I so much as accidentally hit tab on one of their suggestions and undid it, it wanted to say 'Co-authored by copilot'. I undid it, but it was pretty annoying.
Now I'm all for transparency, but the mechanism is heavy handed, actually doesn't show this addition in the commit message you see before commit, is frankly a bit presumptious to assert it 'Co-authored', and no obvious way to tweak the bolted on attribution. It's more an advertisement than a 'transparency' measure in truth.
I'd probably go with some option to indicate nuance but without advertising the platform. 'May contain AI generated completions' or 'May contain prompt driven AI content'
