   Am I the only one who feels a sense of disinterest in a project where the main README is LLM-generated? Does the author not have time to write what they did and how it's used?

      I'm more upset about it being factually wrong, e.g. both mentions of "git-ignored" are absurd (why would you mention it if it's not in the repo?) and wrong (they are in the repo).

         I notice this, that AI likes to write about things that are not in there. Like i review AI generated output, notice unnecessary things, and asks AI to remove that. So AI removes that and adds that "this and that, that was used or described like this, was removed because bla bla bla" to the document.

         I think its somehow needs to talk (write) about the things that are in the context and removal is there so AI predicts that it should be there.

            AI writing is just bad, this things is really noticable - but even in READMEs they look superficially OK until you read them.

            AI probably should not be writing docs, commit logs or comments.
