IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data & AI organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

(G) for generated like © for copyright

Simply put, instead of:

// Assisted by watsonx Code Assistant

// Code generated by WCA@IBM in this programming language is not approved for use in IBM product development.

def some_generated_function(data):
    return process(data)

This:

# (G) ibm-granite/granite-3b-code-base-2k
def some_generated_function(data):
    return process(data)

or even this:

> git commit -m "added function to process data (G)"

Why?

I feel awkward committing WCA-generated code with two 'Assisted by...' lines. I'd use it more if it were cooler and more concise—like "(G)" for Generated, similar to © for Copyright.

Why (G)?

  • Just 3 characters—super short

  • Short, easy tags encourage adoption

  • Public awareness of AI-generated content is high; no need to spell it out

  • When explicit, it should be clear from context: (G) watsonx/model-name:version

  • Plays off ©, making it instantly recognizable.

  • "G" has a built-in meme factor—subtly catchy.

Why does it matter?

Coolness is deceptively important. The "Assisted by..." lines don't look cool at all. It's not something developers would type out, nor want to have littered around their code-base.

If explicit information is important e.g. for legal purposes, it can simply be added elsewhere. For example a text file in the code repository root. I'll post an idea for that separately.

Needed By Not sure -- Just thought it was cool
