I'm not sure who did it first (CoPilot maybe?), but for me it was Claude Code that started putting its name on everything.

Advertising seems like the main reason, and maybe trying to over-anthropomorphize the tools.

No it doesn't? I've written commit messages ending with 'Co-authored-by [Claude]' a few times, in acknowledgement that it was largely 'vibed' and I only reviewed and committed it. I've never had Claude Code run `git commit`.

the models now commit because they think it is what we want, they are "relentlessly proactive" as simonw puts it, I now have to have instructions so they do not commit and push

Therefore it’s only fair that some kind of disclaimer is shown somewhere
