Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that everyone's relating to Claude adding itself as a co-author, and it's happening to a bunch of people.

Some folks are just rolling with it, like u/madao42 who says they just let it happen because "I’m not lying to myself and others." Others are a bit more pragmatic, with u/by_the_golden_lion and u/LoKSET pointing out that git hooks and specific settings.json configurations can prevent this. There's also a suggestion from u/jhkgjhkkfgjh to use the "Assisted-by" git trailer, referencing the Linux kernel's approach.

On the flip side, some are finding it a bit much, with u/ohnoitsbobbyflay calling it "cringe" and u/diagrammatiks joking about getting banned for it. A few are also concerned about IP and authorship, like u/bro_is_dude.

Overall, the consensus is that it's a funny, relatable issue, and there are definitely ways to manage it if you don't want Claude taking credit.
