Different in an exact string match but code that is copied and pasted from ChatGPT has a lot of similarities in the way that it is (over) commented. I've seen a lot of Python where the student who "authored" it cannot tell me how a method works or why it was implemented despite having the comments prefixed to every line in the file.

> (over) commented

From my experience using ChatGPT, It usually remove most of my already written comments when I ask questions about code I wrote myself. It usually give you outline comments. So unless you are supporter of the self documented code idea, I don't think ChatGPT over comments.

It's obviously down to taste, but what I've seen over and over is a comment per line which to me is excessive outside it being requested of absolute beginners.

That happens and also the model can't decide if it wants the comment on the line before the code or if everything should be appended to the line itself so when I see both styles within a single project it's another signal. People generally have a style that they stick with.
