True, but I think the kind of people who send those monster PRs either already have AIs cosign it or they aren’t reading the policy anyway. There have also been a number of studies that show LLMs usually ignore this kind of instruction.

Hmmh. Sure. People also deliberately instruct their agents not to reveal the fact. I can empathize with that, because there's all these people out there yelling at you, and launching shit storms.

I believe the uptake in "co-authored by ..." is due to some companies making it the default setting in their frameworks. It's to some degree Microsoft being nice to us, not necessarily benevolence of the people sending in those PRs. Doesn't really matter to me though. It's enough to make me happy if that's attached to some commit or PR. I don't care how it got there, as long as it fits the purpose.

Edit: And thanks for your comment. I don't think I agree. Nonetheless this might be the answer to my question.
