    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.

        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.
