@levork@graphics.social I also look at a lot of AI-generated code and to me it does have a distinct personality (as in I recognize the LLM “style”) but it’s a very annoying one. Comments that spend whole paragraphs saying nothing or referring to changes that have been discarded, “does X instead of Y to avoid Z”, using outdated language constructs, an extreme love of catching and discarding exceptions whenever possible…

@krig@goto.liten.app @levork@graphics.social That looks more like someone who needs to properly set up their tooling. E.g. throwing and discarding exceptions I have never encountered in LLM code, both in Python and in C++. Verbose comments - yes. Crappy code in places? Certainly. But that is mostly rapidly found and fixed during reviews. Which is what takes most time these days. Code full of "personality" is often a problem when you have many devs who will not agree on common style (which they never do ...)
