Actually why do people credit LLMs as coauthors on their commits

Feels like you're just doing free advertisings, no?

"But Koa if you buy something you also get manufacturer brandings in it!"

Yes, and I think there's a difference, still?
If you buy something that thing will come with branding by default and you have to spend active effort to remove it

With commit messages it's the reverse, no?
You start with a blank state and you really need to go out of your way to put an LLM credit there :cirnothinking:

I think for most of it, the user doesn't even realized that LLM being co-author in their commit. some software like claude etc did this without the user consent.

Some projects require that as disclosure of using AI, and some tools automatically add that.
