The dialog was something to read. Doesn’t sound like ai but rather something a developer has practiced for years and no one has challenged the dev on this, until now.

Also, there is discussions on what a commit message should contain, apparently the patch had user guidance in the commit message. Literally on how to install dependencies such as gcc using pacman, in the commit message.
