No, the post doesn't say about hiding that, you can write "created by AI" or "helped by LLM". The post is about advertising for commercial products.

Their rant was about any and all AI notices in commits. They specifically state that merge requests is where that belongs.

I personally disagree and think commit messages makes the most sense. But I also think it's up to the personal preference of whoever owns the repository.

Not true. They state “just add "generated by an LLM" but do not give those companies free advertising space”, and the reference to merge requests is specifically in regard to disclosing which AI tool was used.
Perhaps it's good to know which one, like knowing what harmful ingredients are in your food so you can avoid ones you know are unsafe.
They do add a “or just don’t use them at all” which shows the author’s true opinion
