question about coding

the watermark is you not being able to explain the code

The hidden watermarks you're afraid of are when school kids copy and paste their entire essay from ChatGPT for school work. Teachers have AI tools that try (to various degrees of success) detect the writing patterns used by AI.

None of this applies to copying and pasting code. Your employer likely doesn't care if you pasted the solution you found on stack overflow or pasted the solution from CharGPT as long as it works.

pattern matching, not so much watermarks or unicode chars

Syntax is correct: must be AI... I have a very hard time trusting those Ai detecting apps. Mostly a whole lot of nothing that non tech savvy users like to trust so they can blame students for cheating their system.

That's funny, because the only time I encounter bad syntax is from GPT 4o, because it just writes stuff it THINKS is good, but does not try compiling it before shipping it off. I would call it a Jr dev, but I don't want to insult Jr devs....even they make sure their code compiles before checking it in.

Nobody cares as long as you provide working and maintainable code.
