I just don't mind it so much. I realized a bit of the way through that the readme was AI generated, and then I read the Show HN intro on this post, and realized the entire thing was AI generated.

But... so what? Is it useful? Yeah, looks like it. Has someone else built it, by hand, and written a readme for it, by hand? No, I don't think so. The world is a slightly better place because this exists, so maybe we shouldn't complain so much about how it was made to exist.

Someone had a frustration, and had an idea about how to solve that frustration, but decided to use a tool to write the code for him, based on his design for how the problem should be solved. That's maybe not how I would have done it, because I enjoy coding for pleasure, but that's just me, and I can absolutely sympathize with someone wanting a problem solved with code, but not wanting to write that code themselves.

> sometimes I really hate what AI is taking from us

I agree that LLMs have not been all roses and rainbows, but in this case, an LLM has given us something that we wouldn't otherwise have.

As soon as I saw bold text, I knew. Humans never bold things.

It's true that Claude wrote most of the Readme... But the design is human :)

The readme and 100% of the code - according to that readme - was also AI.

If you came up with the design of the parser for the decompiled graphs, then I’m glad to still be impressed.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool project… and I was actually impressed and excited

I only briefly scanned it - are you referring to Claude being an extensive commit contributor?

reply
Yes, as in 100% :-(

Why not rip and replace the parts of the readme then?

It's like making a beautiful chocolate praline and shipping it in a shoe.

Maybe don't feel entitled to the author's time? Perhaps he'd rather spend time playing the games that the software patched, instead of spending time doing writing for you.

but not any of the actual work.

Designing a parser and deciding how to solve the problem isn't work? Writing code is not the only work involved in building something.

I love writing code and avoid using an LLM for pleasure projects, but c'mon, this kind of derisiveness is getting old and tiring.

The Readme is actual work.

I quote one of the parent comments: "It's true that Claude wrote most of the Readme... But the design is human :)"

So while writing the readme could be considered actual work, it was still not done by the human. So I don't know what your point is.
