README is for humans if a human comes up and says "this project is for humans".

Slop is excessively redundant. Basically "purple prose" of the technical documentation.

But primarily: if its not worth writing, its not worth reading.

(I use Claude to prepare half of my technical documentation but then i review EVERY single file. And every single one gets extensively edited despite being coherent from the outset. I just feel like it would be disrespectful to get LLM spit something out and ask my colleagues to read it. Like.... come on.)
