Guess you can't really prove that, unless you leave comments like "generated by Claude" in it with timestamp and whatnot 😁 Or one can prove that you are unable to get to that result yourself.

So nonsense, yes.

Oh shit… I’ve got terabytes of code I’ve written over the years that I’d be hard-pressed to even begin to understand today. The other day I discovered a folder full of old C++ libraries I wrote 20+ years ago, and I honestly don’t remember ever coding in C++.

There is absolutely no way you wrote terabytes of code lmao.

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago

True enough, and I expected to get checked on that.

Regardless… along with the archives, assets and versioned duplicates, my old projects dating back to the 90s somehow now fill multiple TB of old hard drives that I continue to pack-rat away in my office. Useless and pointless to keep, but every piece was once a priority for someone.

Cursor, an ai/agentic-first ide, is doing this with a blame-style method. Each line as it's modified, added DOES show history of ai versus each human contributor.

So, not nonsense in probability, but in practice -- no real enforcement to turn the feature on.

Why would you ever want this?

If you pushed the bug that took down production - they aren't gonna whataboutism the AI generated it. They're still going to fire you.

Sorry, but as another reply: pushing bugs to production doesn't immediately equate to firing. Bug tickets are common and likely addressing issues in production.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Hence the "took down production"

[–] mattvanlaw@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I guess you mean like full outtage for all users? My bad just a lot of ways to take the verb "down" for me. Still, though, what a crappy company to not learn but fire from that experience!

It makes little difference IMHO. If you crash the car, you can’t escape liability blaming self driving.

Likewise, if you commit it, you own it, however it’s generated.

It's mainly for developers to follow decisions made over many iterations of files in a code base. A CTO might crawl the gitblame...but it's usually us crunchy devs in the trenches getting by.
