I think it is somewhat of a mute point. My ide uses a "model" to do code completions. Generate toString() . My ide if I type some java will say " hey that is throwing an exception, I will add try catch for you!. I can barely belt out a for loop before it auto replaces it .map().reduce().collect() .
All this "assisted by :" does is contributes to am ipo of open ai vendor by giving them bragging rights. NetBeans never got any credit for auto completing jbutton.onclick for me :) On Fri, Jun 12, 2026, 5:02 PM Michael Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree with option 3. > > On Fri, Jun 12, 2026 at 10:03 AM Jason Fehr <[email protected]> wrote: > > > We have added a requirement to include a commit message trailer > > "Assisted-by: <model> (<tool>)" when using generative tooling (see > > > > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IMPALA/Contributing+to+Impala#:~:text=If%20using%20generative%20tooling > > ). > > Next, we need to consider the situation where multiple generative tools > are > > used on the same commit.
