as someone who has a similar job, i don’t think it’s so obvious. there’s a lot of middle ground between an AI slop PR and artisanal, hand-crafted code. if i use a library or algorithm or pattern suggested by ChatGPT or use Copilot to autocomplete a simple function or have Claude generate test cases, that’s all “AI assisted”.

Sure, but that's not what this is about. This isn't just banning AI-written code, it's banning AI-assisted code. If you even use a Google Gemini "AI-summary" at the top of your search results for something simple like the name of a function, then your code is AI-assisted.

There's no way anyone can detect that. And banning it is silly.

But the point is, imho, that if nobody can tell if it's AI-assisted, then who cares? This is more for them to fire a warning shot that you'd better be sure your AI-assisted code is good enough to pass, or they can reject or and, potentially, ban you without notice.

Yeah. But this guy says we can't. I wonder what metric they use to assert "the sky is blue" is a true statement.

Probably needs to XP a bit...
