I think there would be a lot less drama around this if authors were just up-front about how they use AI. Put it in your readme, just like you do with licenses.
Why not? I’ve added it to my projects. It’s simple, just open README.md. Write “# Use of AI. This project does not currently use AI. / This project is entirely vibe coded & I don’t read the code at all. / I occasionally use Claude Code but thoroughly review its output.”
Save. Commit. Push. How is that not straightforward?

Not straightforward with projects that pre-date coding agents, which is the overwhelming majority?
