I very much disagree with Brian. ISTM crucial that readers (and
there are many of those) are generally confident that the opinions
expressed in a message are those of the sender, and not opinions
being mimiced by an LLM. (The fact that there are many readers for
each sent-thing, IMO imposes a higher burden on the sender.)

That aspect is not at all addressed by the sender naming themselves
as responsible for the content

Cheers,
