And yet, I have an unfortunately clear mental picture of the human that did this. In itself, that is a very specific coding style. I don't imagine an LLM would do that. Chat would instead take a couple of the methods from the Symbian codebase and use them where they didn't exist. The God classes would merely be mined for more non-existent functions. The true if block would become a function. And the # lines would have comments on them. Useless comments, but there would be text following every last one of them. Totally different styles.

Depends on the LLM.

I've seen exactly what you describe and worse *, and I've also seen them keep to one style until I got bored of prompting for new features to add to the project.

* one standard test I have is "make a tetris game as a single page web app", and one model started wrong and then suddenly flipped from Tetris in html/js to ML in python.
