> Seems like mostly authored by Claude too.

This is a problem in many projects now. xserver and mruby for instance also succumbed to claude. It seems claude is the ultimate virus. It leaks into almost every project now. So I am not sure it can be used as differentiating criterium here merely for being claude AI slop. I've noticed a lot of documentation is now totally useless though; claude slop is just unreadable to me. It's like a person who is not able to think, wrote the documentation. I did not have this issue back when real humans wrote documentation, even though high quality documentation was always rare anyway. But, for instance, Jeremy Evans in his projects tends to write high-quality documentation in general, and I can understand it fine, whereas if you look at matz spinel, I have no idea what the AI slop in the README is really trying to convey. Or on ffmpeg, a german dev used AI slop to try to create some proposal, and someone else pointed out that this is pointless and impossible to read and understand, yet the original guy did not understand why real people don't want to be AI slop spammed. It's very strange.
