Some possibly-missing context:

Claude Code's system prompt instructs models to include the 
Co-Authored-By line when creating Git commits. It's standard 
behavior, not something Dennis went out of his way to add; in 
fact, _not_ adding it - or crediting the LLM any other way - 
would have been the non-standard behavior here.

In my personal opinion, the application of the Co-Authored-By 
mechanism is perfectly suited for its case. It integrates well 
with GitHub's UI, and shows which commits were created with LLM 
assistance at a glance (e.g. even in commit lists which don't 
show the full commit message).

Objecting to the use of Co-Authored-By in this way is, at this 
point, objecting to the use of a widespread, established 
practice, and therefore IMO unproductive.
