I think the question is, did you offload understanding to the LLM, or
just the creation of the patch.
I think Assisted-by gets used as an indication of "the contributor might
not understand the contribution", and the patch might warrant extra
scrutiny. But that's not reliable by any means.
Right or wrong, it used to be that the lack of polish in a patch was
used as a poor proxy for that, but now we get polished patches from
LLMs.
