I am no programmer and understand almost nothing of the documentation and yet somehow I can tell it's all bullshit.

It reads like a kid making up words in an attempt to sound smart mixed up with the description for a shady Amazon product.

I guess it's reading comprehension. Utter bullshit reeks the same regardless of the field.

That's absolutely awesome!

I'm gonna start referring to this as 'smelling AI slop'

You got the sense to sniff it out, even without programming experience. And that's a damn good sense to have these days 👍
