@noboilerplate if a dev is using AI (for most of their code may I add, not for just trying to learn) then they are only screwing themselves over -

Copilot reportedly can appear in participant list for PRs despite never partucipating in which may cause false alarms with that approach. -

Thanks, this saved me from writing a tool to check repositories for their vibe code potential. People who block `claude` might also be interested in blocking `cursoragent` @noboilerplate

@noboilerplate Annoyingly, this doesn't seem to work if `claude` was tagged as a co-author: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/546345c8f708bdadc2b3124ddb458673ae34c63d

@noboilerplate I wish we could have obvious labels for all this stuff people are passing off as their own. Pretty soon, we're going to start using the same garbage in new garbage.

Copilot reportedly can appear in participant list for PRs despite never partucipating in which may cause false alarms with that approach.@tiredbun @alice @noboilerplate Worse than that: they appear to only do that if the viewer is logged out last I checked, so the maintainer can't easily see that GitHub is disparaging them by claiming copilot's involvement. (I could see that working out rather poorly for them in certain countries with strong anti-defamation laws if the maintainer is "particularly vocal" about not using it)
