Ok but how is anyone meant to know if you generated your docstrings using copilot?

I’m saddened to use this phrase but it is literally virtue signalling. They have no way of knowing lmao

It’s actually simple to detect: if the code sucks or is written by a bad programmer, and the docstrings are perfect, it’s AI. I’ve seen this more than once and it never fails.

So your results are biased, because you're not going to see the decent programmers who are just using it to take mundane tasks off their back while staying in control of the logic. You're only ever going to catch the noobs.

You’re only ever going to catch the noobs.

That’s the fucking point. Juniors must learn, not copy paste random stuff. I don’t care what seniors do.
