There is the germ of a good idea here, in among the chaff.

Here is my own implementation of it: http://source.git-annex.branchable.com/?p=source.git;a=co...

I chose to only display it in --debug output both to avoid bothering users with it, and because my own problems with LLM use of my code stem directly from it being used to try to draft bug reports. Short-curcuiting a LLM based process that will end with me rejecting a bug report unread is not doing a disservice to users.

Many projects have added some form of FOO.md that tries to prevent LLM use on the code. I have not seen much pushback to that, but modifying free software is as fundamental as running it.

Maybe it's just me, but that link doesn't seem to work?
