I love how many people on social media or HN are asking if one of the most respected devs in FOSS world working on one of the most widespread and deeply critical projects on the internet, has tried ${some generic simple approach to AI SLOP}.

They act as if he's some random noob who has no idea what he’s doing. For God’s sake, the guy holds many prestigious awards from Europe and elsewhere. Do you really think he is unaware of other solutions or believes he’ll be left behind because of AI?
