I'm fine with people using LLMs to generate code, but I am so, so tired of reading README.md files written by AI. If you want me to take any interest in your idea, please spend the hour or two it takes to explain what you did (or made your agent do) and why, using your own words.
LLMs will make anything sound like a good idea on the surface, and I as a reader have to dig in and spend mental capacity to separate the fluff from what is actually a good idea. I'm not going to do that, I'm just going to close the tab. What I want to read in the README.md is an actual human expressing an actual need and an actual idea for how to address it.
Sure, use an LLM to get feedback on your writing, maybe even let it help you develop good examples. But if you can't even write a single coherent sentence on your own, keep your project to yourself and stop wasting the time and attention of others.
I wonder if the prompt was "Make a HN front page project complete with post, docs, repo, and tutorial. Make it seem like it's been around for a while. Pick two popular concepts and go with it"

just get feedback from actual readers who will tell you and may even submit a PR. That's what open source is for...
