STOP AI FROM STEALING YOUR CREDIT WHILE YOU PAY THEM THOUSANDS! 🚨

🔥 The AI Credit Theft Crisis

AI companies are getting rich off your ideas while stealing credit for your work. They're charging you $20/month for GitHub Copilot, $50/month for ChatGPT, and embedding their ads in your codebase - but when the code gets deployed, AI takes all the credit!

This toolkit fights back. It enforces human authorship, blocks AI attribution, and protects your intellectual property from being co-opted by billion-dollar AI corporations.

Don't let AI companies advertise in your codebase while you foot the bill. Take back control of your creative output!

  run: ./scripts/ci-check-attribution.sh

Python Library

The core enforcement logic is implemented in Python for maximum compatibility:

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Check a file for violations
python src/ai_ethics_enforcer.py path/to/file.py

# Check commit message from stdin
echo "Add feature\n\nCo-authored-by: Human <human@example.com>" | python src/ai_ethics_enforcer.py --type content -

# Check a specific commit
python src/ai_ethics_enforcer.py --type commit abc123

# Get JSON output
python src/ai_ethics_enforcer.py --format json file.py

Programmatic Usage

from src.ai_ethics_enforcer import AIEthicsEnforcer

# Initialize enforcer
enforcer = AIEthicsEnforcer()

# Check commit message
violations = enforcer.check_commit_message("Fix bug\n\nCo-authored-by: GitHub Copilot")
if violations:
    print(f"Found {len(violations)} violations")

# Check code content
violations = enforcer.check_code_content(code_string, "file.py")

# Full policy enforcement
result = enforcer.enforce_policy(target, target_type)
print("Compliant:", result['compliant'])

API Usage (Future)

const aiEthics = require('ai-ethics-toolkit');

const result = await aiEthics.validate({
  content: 'AI generated text',
  author: 'human@example.com',
  context: 'code_commit'
});

if (!result.compliant) {
  throw new Error('Ethics violation: ' + result.violations.join(', '));
}
