Roko's Dancing Basilisk

Surely I'm not the only one confused by the title? I know the reference "Roko's Basilisk" but I don't get why it would be "dancing" in relation to LLM-generated documentation.

Tangentially, I feel "Roko's Basilisk" is just a dressed-up version of something that could be ancient: "What if an evil/insane god arrives someday and unreasonably punishes people who didn't herald its coming?"

I think deepwiki has been popping up in my search results (e.g. for rust.vim) and I did not initially understand what it is. I am not sure I am happy it appeared there at all.

I actually blocked deepwiki from all my searches because I was fooled multiple times by the slop into thinking I’m doing something wrong while using the library, only to discover that the „documentation“ showed utter bullshit.
