AI assisted patches and credits where it is due

I sometimes get patches, which are literally just LLM output dumps.
Even finding out if there is a bug symptom/bug has been delegated to
me.
I'm thinking of followning process when this happens next time:
1. Do all the real work.
2. Retain whatever model was used as co-author.
3. Downgrade submitted from author to reporter.
I've seen also reasonable AI assisted patches and this type of behavior
just downplays them.
Any better ideas? I'm open.
BR, Jarkko
