There's no larger philosophical point here, just an empirical observation that when I trust an AI generated readme I reliably get burned, in a way that I typically don't get burned by e.g. an AI generated svg viewer or batch download script.

Makes sense, that's a fair heuristic.

TBH - I weigh it higher as it's from a University in Saitama, a place I have a strong connection to and don't see here often. An irrational reason to ignore the AI smell, but why not.
