josefi think IDEs which allow you to use "AI" to generate code should always display those specific lines of code in Comic Sans
julientaq@jk to look like human :)
Aaron Williamson@jk Comic Sans monospace, obv

LR@jk i'm against this, because i use comic sans to code. i am not kidding.

Attached: 1 image in the language this abstraction comes from, both Table types support the same accessors, but in the second case i can only choose between "same field, but copy-by-value" and "copy-by-reference but _ prefix" (about needing ample use of ({ ... }) i already complained previously)

Sander van Kasteel@jk but my regular IDE font is already Comic Sans 
ǝʌɐp@jk this is great UX, should extend beyond just IDEs tbh
Dreamwinder@jk @kittynorth Finally, a positive usecase for Comic Sans.
Oblomov@jk bonus: they should do so in the IDE of anyone reading your code.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's configurable. Good IDEs usually have many UI options, including so many font settings.

draeath@jk jokes aside if the tool doesn't already use some way to make generated code visually distinct, it really should.
VeSpectagles@jk How will I tell them apart from the rest of the code, then?
kwayk42@jk but what about... Papyrus?
curtmack@jk Github (Microsoft) released their own collection of monospaced fonts about a year and a half ago, and one of them was a retro-futuristic angular font that they demonstrated being used for Copilot-generated code. I don't know if that feature actually exists anywhere (outside maybe VS Code), and even if it does it's probably not persistent.
A standardized metadata format for indicating AI-generated code would be nice. Not sure how helpful it will be in a year, though.

@jk best idea I’ve seen today
lee@jk frankly this feels like an insult to comic sans
Nico Rohrbach@jk
good move, but that's really not fair to Comic Sans.

mb21@jk iA Writer has this feature! well, it greys out the text instead of Comic Sans: https://ia.net/writer/support/editor/authorship

raffitz@jk More like Tragic Sans, am I right?
@jk Type designers of the world, unite and make fonts like Tragic Sans, Tragic Grotesk, Tragic New Roman a reality.
Chèvre Mousse@jk Only if the rest of the code is displayed in Papyrus

Fischkopp@jk setting the ai autocomplete color to pink was the first step.
fruchti@jk Great use case for ‘paste with formatting’, too

Please note that there is a difference between AI generated code and dictionary-based code completion.
Code completion is a learning tool. AI generated code is a way to steal your own future because of laziness.
