    I have zero special interest in AI, what pisses me off are weird vague rules.

    If all copied code ever is plagiarism and must be reported, the whole world would grind to a halt as we need to lawyer up and rewrite everything with verified clean room protocols.

    There are finite ways to solve problems with code, how can anyone prove a piece of code is actually written by them and not AI generated or copied from SO or a blog if they all look the same? There is no audit trail, nobody recorded their coding sessions with cryptographic signatures to prevent tampering.

    What I’m getting at here is the complete impossibility of proving a piece of code is man-made and not plagiarised, copied or otherwise generated.

    And if it’s impossible to prove something is man-made without a doubt, why have vague rules against code that is not?

      C’mon, man. Don’t lie.

      There are finite ways to solve problems with code, how can anyone prove a piece of code is actually written by them …

      You and I are going to end up reinventing the US patent system, and while cool, I just do not have time for it. I have way too many autumn leaves to blow into my neighbor’s yard.
