it doesnt

whered you get it from

[scenic hornet]

me and my friend worked on it

I used AI here and there to help me when I got stuck

got banned off a server bc the server owner claimed that it was 100% AI even from just a screenshot

[tidal sigil]

definitely not AI, AI would add type annotation

[somber mauve]

uh, what, of course ai would if you asked it to

[scenic hornet]

I see

[tidal sigil]

it would do so even without explicitly asking

[somber mauve]

are you sure about that?

i see zero typing

[tidal sigil]

its one function, i mean i guess it depends

[nocturne sundial]

I'd ask why they thought it was AI. If it is because of the comments or the emojis, I can see why though it is still a stretch to ban based on that only.

[somber mauve]

of course it depends, it does what you tell it to

[tidal sigil]

L153 the if statements arent AI

[scenic hornet]

I copy pasted emojies from AI yes

[somber mauve]

im not saying it is, but how do you know it isnt?

[scenic hornet]

bc idk how to make them in VS Code

[tidal sigil]

AI would not do that shit

[somber mauve]

it would if you told it to, you don't know what they promted the ai

[tidal sigil]

if choice == "1":
    hangman.play_hangman()
elif choice == "2":
    rockpaperscissors.play_rock_paper_scissors()
elif choice == "3":
    tictactoe.play_game()
elif choice == "4":
    print("Chatbot is currently a work in progress (Pre-Release Beta v0.1)")
    ai.play_ai()
elif choice == "5":
    change_password(user_key, users)
elif choice == "6":
    print("Logging out...")
    break
elif choice.lower()== "holiday29":
    print ("\n ✨ You discovered the secret 2025 Holiday 29ers' Easter Egg!!! ✨")
    print ("❄️  Your system wishes you Happy Holidays! ❄️")
else:
    print("Invalid option.")
``` this isnt ai

isnt not even formatted wth

[nocturne sundial]

there are a few extensions for it: I have "Insert Unicode" and "emojisense" for that.

[somber mauve]

major social platforms should hire you to as their chief of ai content detection because you sure know it when you see it miraculously.

[tidal sigil]

unless someone makes deliberate attempts to hide it, its very clear

though im not super sure the emojis are kinda

[scenic hornet]

no, this was 100% human, me and my friend made this

[somber mauve]

and they've clearly made deliberate attempts to hide it, you can't know by just looking at the code

[tidal sigil]

gjdofhgfophgpofdhigodfhigof

why would anyone ever do shit like this

what even is this for

where are you trying to put it so it looks like dogshit

[nocturne sundial]

At least for me, it doesn't scream AI. It doesn't have the verbosity that I'd expect from it, it doesn't have the "handle every exception" thing I see LLMs do, I doubt an LLM would pick PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (even though it is decent, but I'd assume it would pick something like Argon2, scrypt, or even bcrypt). I doubt it would have unused and seemingly redundant functions such as get_password. I doubt it would introduce a possible timing attack at lines 110 and 121. I doubt it would do control flow as shown in system_menu...

I could invest more time at looking at this and finding what's "AI" and what's not "AI", but what I'm seeing doesn't look like single-prompted LLM output.

Whether it was prompted once or it was prompted thrice isn't the point. At the end of the day, whether AI was involved is a matter of asking: what does this do? can you fix this thing? can you do this without X?

@scenic hornet if you are able to explain what you did and know yourself that you wrote what you've given us, I'd leave it as is.

[somber mauve]

trying to change the code to look less ai screams that you've indeed used ai though

and if the owner got that reaction out from you then you're trying to win a lost case

[scenic hornet]

okay so this main.py files imports a hangman, rock paper scissors, tic-tac-toe, files, as well as offering a way to sign in and sign up (that's why a .txt file will be created to save your account). During the sign ins and sign ups you can enter a password, change it, and if you're using VS Code it will be able to hide you typing the password

it also has easter eggs

[somber mauve]

they mean explain the code, not the app

and not to us, the owner who got you banned

[scenic hornet]

they blocked me

[scenic hornet]

that's gonna take forever 🙁

[somber mauve]

you don't have to explain everything, if someone asks or tells you "this looks ai generated" you ask "what looks ai generated" and they point you to a piece of code and you explain what it does and why you wrote it like that.

[scenic hornet]

okay, gimme an example

[native glade]

I would learn about docstrings and replace some of these comments:

# Menu
def system_menu(user_key, users):
``` use instead:
```py
def system_menu(user_key: str, users: dict[str, dict[str, ...]]) -> None:
    """Opens the menu and does stuff"""

And annotations will save you more often than you think down the road. 🙂

[somber mauve]

i just did.

[scenic hornet]

alr, gotcha

I like comments tho, the formatting is easier

[scenic hornet]

just a single line?

or module?

[nocturne sundial]

the thing is why would you change it to look less like AI? If this is homework, as I initially assumed, that would ring all of the alarm bells possible, sure, but we don't have that context from OP.

[native glade]

Comments may seem easier on the formatting initially.

But, docstrings appear in most other tooling automatically:

[scenic hornet]

I see

[tranquil oriole]

wouldnt

not ai cuz the code is garbage (nsrs)

ai is not gonna write this

well first of all ai loves whitespace

but yeah ai is not gonna do this

its just not

i fully understand that ai was used

but its def nto fully ai

[scenic hornet]

got it

[scenic hornet]

I wrote that and I'm proud of it 🙂 ^^^

[tranquil oriole]

you need better formatting thats hideous

please please get a linter

ruff autoformat is good

what

[fast cargo]

he told me to try it and i did

[tranquil oriole]

well

[fast cargo]

well?

[tranquil oriole]

you dont have his libraries

[fast cargo]

bruh im stupif

stupid

[tidal sigil]

lma
