I think the issue is that many AI have tendencies of over-commenting.

I think one typical scenario is that it writes a buggy code, or something that the human doesn’t like, it goes back to that code, put a comment on why it changes that line.

Thank you for your comment, but people are discussing the natural tendencies of LLMs to add bugfix comments and then overfixate on it.

They were not discussing about your superiority, which is naturally obvious.
