AI will not replace you. A person using AI will.

@MingtaKaivo This answer is brought to you by an AI model.

@svpino That's the blessing and curse. Context is destiny. AI shines in the unknown but gets caught in your expert blindspot.—that's where human judgment matters most. 💯

Claude is the perfect complement for me: Whenever I have a question I can't answer, I ask Claude, and it gives me the perfect answer every time. But as soon as I ask Claude something I do know, the answer is usually horseshit.

@zquestz I don't want to hide anything. I simply want full control of my commit messages. I'm replying to your suggestion that Claude attribution should be mandatory for code written by Claude. I disagree with that.

@svpino Obviously. At no point did I say you weren't responsible. However, commits are attributing who wrote and committed the code, not who will be maintaining it. Having the maintainer, and the author credited makes sense to me. Unless you want to hide the fact that AI assisted you.

No, I don't think AI should be thanked, credited for its work, celebrated, chastised, or treated as anything other than a tool. Should we start crediting Visual Studio Code on every commit? Should we also credit Python? How about crediting Apple for their computers, which made that particular commit possible?

@zquestz You are missing the point: you are still responsible for that code.

@svpino Visual studio code doesn't write the code and commit it for you. If you literally only provided a prompt, you didn't write the code.

@raghav_227 My commit comments are important. I don't like to litter them.

@svpino Why does it really matter though?

I didn't know you could disable Claude Code attribution when committing code. To fix it, I asked Claude Code to disable attribution, and it updated the global settings. json file. No more "Co-Authored-By: AI <ai@example.com>" comments.

@zquestz Makes no difference to me. You are still responsible for it.

@svpino Also please re-read my reply. It said if the AI *wrote* and committed the code.

@jerezito @bcherny This exists: it's called "me".

@svpino @bcherny 💯 there has to be some intermediate escrow account or similar that provides a layer of protection from the obvious risks

Claude Cowork is mind-blowing. I still cannot believe you can do this on your phone and then come back to your computer to a complete report on the best plane tickets to buy. I wonder where we'll be by the end of the year.

Whoever uses AI to write code should be responsible for that code (and liable for any potential consequences). I don't care what model you used, how you used it, or how much it helped you. You are responsible for the code.

@zquestz I don't. The person writing the code is responsible for that code. I don't care whether a model was involved or not.

@svpino If Claude wrote the code and handled the commit, then I think it should be mandatory.

@aloobhujiyan No, I don't have any interest in "hiding the evidence". I just don't want every commit to include a "disclaimer".

@svpino the fact that we're already at the "hide the evidence" stage of AI coding is genuinely hilarious. six months ago everyone was putting "built with AI" in their bio. now we're scrubbing co-author tags like we're clearing browser history

@SucciMas I know.

@svpino Hiding the label doesn't change what's in the box

@Metacogmission @Yuchenj_UW Never mind. Found this!

@Metacogmission @Yuchenj_UW Where do I do this?

I noticed something interesting: Claude Code auto-adds itself as a co-author on every git commit. Codex doesn’t. That’s why you see Claude everywhere on GitHub, but not Codex. I wonder why OpenAI is not doing that. Feels like an obvious branding strategy OpenAI is skipping.

@Yuchenj_UW Yeah, I get what they do this, but I don't like it.

@svpino I’ve accepted it to be my co-author at this point. I think it’s a huge win for Claude’s branding. It gives off this vibe like 90% of developers are using Claude Code.

@KontroldChaos @capital_corn Because I do it using Claude Cowork, but I'm happy you have other options!

@svpino @capital_corn Why can’t you just do that through perplexity or gemini in your mobile app?

@colesmcintosh This reply is brought to you by an AI model.

@svpino the phone to desktop handoff is what gets me every time. what other use cases have you found yourself reaching for it most?

@bcherny I gotta be honest with you: I know it should be capable of doing it, but I still need to become comfortable trusting that next step (access to my credit card, personal data, etc.) Glad to hear you have tried it and it worked.

@svpino Next, ask it to book the flights. I just had Cowork book 3 flights for me and it worked surprisingly well
