How would they know though? If I use Claude to make a contribution and tweak some things, it would be impossible to know unless I actively tell them I used Claude when generating my code?

If you've seen a typical GenAI pull request, it's blatantly obvious. If it has been curated well, sure it's probably not feasible to know, but "slop" is easy to tell, and the target users have very slop contributions.

Well yes it is obivous if it is vibecoded usually, but if you use it as a tool you write most of it by hand or have it help out with certain functions etc. I hope you get my point! :D
