The way I use LLMs (and I'd advice everyone to do the same) there really isn't, the agent implements things exactly how I want them, or I use the agent to massage it into the exact bit-by-bit version I imagined when I first sent the prompt afterwards. I honestly don't know what the point would be to let the agents compose worse code than what I'd do manually, although I know it's a popular approach taken by many.

So watermarking for all users who allow code comments from agents, no watermarking for us who force the agents to never write a single code comment? Alright, I'd be fine with that.
