This is interesting. If the models had enough actual code as training data, that forum post code should have very little weight, shouldn't it? Why do the LLMs prefer it?

Probably because the coworker's question and the forum post are both questions that start with "How do I", so they're a good match. Actual code would be more likely to be preceded by... more code, not a question.

Maybe because the response pattern-matches other languages’s?
