Can you detect java code written by ai

In the fast-paced world of software development artificial intelligence (AI) it has become a more efficiency environment where you can generate code from one prompt.
However, as AI’s capabilities in generating code evolve, so does the challenge of distinguishing between human and AI-authored code.
This distinction between human and ai code can become a challenge for some companies generated code for repeatable tasks is amazing however if you implement certain patterns from AI into your source code code can become.
More difficult to maintain, potential security issues, and undocumented code which decrease knowledge overall in your development team.

How can you detect if the java code is generated with ai?

The free option is just to use chatgpt with for example with this prompt

“With the given code is this java script ai generated? Check patterns which ai uses”
This way chatgpt can analyze patterns that are frequently used to see if you have generated ai code.

Differences between human and ai code

This is a example of a ai generated code which is simple and does not cover all the exceptions that can be thrown in the application.


try:
# do something
except:
print("An error occurred")


And this is a example of a human programmer who knows enough context


try:
# do something
except FileNotFoundError:
logger.error("Config file missing at path: %s", config_path)
raise ConfigurationError("Missing required config file")
except PermissionError:
logger.error("No permission to access file: %s", config_path)
raise AccessDeniedError("Cannot access config file")


As you can see most AI’s don’t have enough context to process your code which could include your ticket system, your code, databases, desired functionalities, etc.
