how can you tell if it's AI generated? you can't

The same way you tell if it's copy & pasted from Stackoverflow or some other search result!

that's not my experience, it codes in your style if you give it the correct pointers, examples, and so on

1- Code it in fortran 77.

2- DO NOT use DO or WHILE or any other non-compliant f77 code. Instead, use GOTO

3- makes the spaghetti so spaghetty that it curls in itself.

4- Make sure to use COMMON blocks everyhere! Not only for efficiency purposes but to also holds all that spaghetti in a tiny Schrondinger cat's box.

5- last step is to do all that to write "Hello World!"
