Usually AI is marked as co-author, so you can't find it in the commit list.

I use the contributor graph to find where the AI made the commits [1] and then I search using the date [2], I found 3 commits relative to a11y stuff.

Co-author is so strange. Like, would anyone credit an IDE or even a script generating code as co-author? Even legally, tools don't have the ontological requirement to be credited as author.

Pretty sure it's just because if the tool generates the commit, it auto-adds itself as co-author. Like the iPhone emails that say "sent from iPhone"

Yes, but the equivalent of "sent from Invasive·marketing·of·some·MUA™" would be "generated with Ludicrious·Laughable·Mockery™".

That is, the MUAs don’t add "co-authored by myMUA".

Waiting for the day I get an email from someone that says "co-authored by my iphone"

I always tell Claude to turn that off. It looks incredibly tacky. I'll leave an agents.md file in the repo if I don't care about people knowing AI helped me.
