It's a useful warning label for LLMed code. (When an editor isn't gratuitously adding it to non-LLMed code.)

GCC isn't making editorial decisions.
It's useful as metadata (like how JPEGs can store the camera model it was taken on, or PDFs contain the program used to generate it), but yes, I don't like LLMs giving themselves co-author credit. I turn this off in Claude Code.
