I received 0.5 points for zero trailing space and machine-perfect formatting. I mean, this is Rust code. I run cargo fmt as a pre-commit hook. It is going to have no trailing space and will be machine-perfect formatting! Because I ran cargo fmt on it. I can do that without an AI, surprising as it may be.

@algernon@come-from.mad-scientist.club Just for shits and giggles, I ran a project I wrote in Go through this “detection” tool. Yep, it gave me full “AI” credit for “machine-perfect formatting”. This is *Go*, FFS. It’s kind of legendary for not only having a characteristic default formatting, but also for very strongly encouraging Go programmers to incorporate said standard formatting into their toolchain as an automated process. Also got accused of being AI for the same sorts of things that you saw in its output for Rust, like sensible naming conventions, actually adhering to standards from a linter, and (my favorite) *proper exception handling*.

I was awarded 0.8 score for having no .unwrap() calls. Because I have unwrap_used = "deny" in my clippy lints, and I run cargo clippy religiously. Pretty standard best practice is not an AI smell, my dude.

@algernon@come-from.mad-scientist.club This is hilarious because I know first hand that Claude generates C# code that doesn't conform to either dotnet format nor CSharpier.
