Usually code contributions by various LLMs are easily identifiable because the agent is the author for the git commit. Mozilla on the other hand seem to be explicitly encourage unattributed LLM code in Firefox. Also note jakearchibald, Mozillas AI spin doctor whenever devs question their intentions, lying about the reasons for this change. I think their true intentions are to muddy the waters to hide the amount of slop contributions in Firefox.

I think this is more about having a human oen the PR and changes than anything else. This way a person takes responsibility for the code as opposed to an AI.

This seems reasonable to me, and not opening the flood gates for AI slop.
