When AI proofreads your Chinese comments line by line, code becomes a foreign language
ducha_aiki · x · 2026-11-06
The screenshot shows an AI code review output line-by-line auditing Chinese wording in a repo: "增强" used for both enhancement and augmentation, "表现出色" claiming more than the English "fast", "匹配对半精度" misread as "match pairs", and Chinese comments in the install block dropped and needing restoration.
duchaaiki quips: are we already treating code as a foreign — and unknown to us — language? When AI scrutinizes human comments with linguistic-review precision, our relationship with our own code is shifting. A funny-but-thoughtful industry observation.
