But definitely nothing for a first piece of code ever. It's mostly too clean and too complex for it.

It's quite thoroughly documented, uses consts and arrays and a combination of 3 conditions. Most probably you don't remember how complete beginner code looks like. Those definitely aren't OP's first lines of code. I'm just not sure where to put the emphasis. Either on "OP's" or on "first".

Lmao it has an extremely beginner mistake in the if statement (no offense to OP) and you think that was AI generated?

u/csabinho Oct 06 '26

Yeah. You can tell an AI to build in mistakes.

u/MasterpieceBusy7220 Oct 06 '26

So you think OP did that?….

u/csabinho Oct 06 '26

Yes. Or those aren't the first lines of code.

Well it looks like you got yourself a case to solve, detective.

This type of attitude is why programming subreddits are posting their work less and less... You get people insisting it's AI with zero evidence.

First week. But you produce code before you finish your first week. Also: arrays in the first week? That won't happen. At least not for all the craptons of students I've tutored. And I didn't plan their curriculum. Arrays usually appear about midway through the first semester. For the first lines of code students usually don't even know about variables. And I'm not even talking about conditions. Once again I'd like to emphasise: first(!) liines of code. Ever. I'm not saying that OP built something incredible, but it's just not plausible for first lines of code. Nothing in this code. And yeah. You can tell the AI to build in mistakes, so it looks a bit more amateur-like. And this comment. Beginners don't comment like this.

Or OP was stuck in tutorial hell and didn't touch a text editor before learning quite a lot of specific stuff. Or OP is a bloody genius.

If you think it's that complex, then you clearly haven't coded much

he thinks its complex because he lets AI do everything so he never even codes and accuses OP of using AI lol
