The "AI" flag on my code review made me want to tear my hair out

Last Thursday my coworker flagged my pull request and said 'this looks like AI wrote it' because I used a helper function from our own repo. I've been writing that style for 6 years, but now everyone assumes anything clean or well-commented is generated by a bot. It's getting to the point where people are second-guessing solid work just because it doesn't look messy enough. I get that AI tools are everywhere now, but we're losing the ability to give credit where it's due. Anyone else dealing with this weird bias against 'too good' code at their job?

...and that's the thing, I saw a post the other day about how people are literally putting small mistakes in their code now just to prove they're human. Like that's where we've gotten to. So yeah, you write something clean and suddenly you're the robot. It's backwards.
