> copy-past[ing] the copyright header but not the code [is] a silly mistake even a human can make

Do you mind showing me some examples of that? That seems so implausible to me

Just for reference, here's another example of AI adding phantom contributors and the human just ignoring it or not even noticing: https://github.com/auth0/nextjs-auth0/issues/2432

Oh wow. That's just egregious. Considering the widespread use of Auth0, I'm surprised this isn't a bigger story.

What's so special about it that I need to show you the example?

You are claiming humans copy-and-paste copyright headers without copying the corresponding code. To prove you're correct, you only need to show one (or a few) examples of it happening. To prove you incorrect, someone would have to go through all code in existence to show the absence of the phenomenon.

Hence the burden of proof is on you.

No code besides the header was copied so I am asking what is so problematic about it?
