Re: LLM Commit in upstream `master`?!

I, too, am disturbed by this. I'm also not a fan of the way that
"Co-authored by Claude Fable 5" reminds me of "sent from my iPhone", it
ends up being a marketing system for these organizations.

On the fediverse it was also pointed out that the AuthorDate is listed
as May 20th 2026:

  https://goto.boserup.eu/@ah/statuses/01KYC7QYHVEEF2WD8ZHTFV7YDD

This seems impossible, "Claude Fable 5" was not even available for
public use by then.

What is going on here?

At any rate, this makes https://human-emacs.org/ feel all the more
compelling.
