    The README.md file also has lovely emojis in it. Their documentation writer is either a 14 year old or generated with an LLM in places.

      Huh, where did you find emojis? I found one lightbulb emoji in the iOS README. And some in their bio. But that’s basically it for the 7 READMEs of the various sub-projects?!

          Ah, I get it. Yes. That section is weird. And it’s unalike the bureaucrat English around it. And I’d say the call to action: “Embark on a journey […]” is pretty much like ChatGPT sounded 2 years ago. I’m fairly certain the other text comes from humans with some expertise in writing legalese or specifications, and this will be a ChatGPT snippet.

          The committer also has this weird habit of naming their commits “Update Readme.md”. So I’m also fairly sure they’re not your average open-source developer using Git how it’s intended.

          Most other markdown files in that specific directory smell of ChatGPT as well.
