> Does this help with the DRAM shortage? No.

It’s an obvious slop project, so it actively contributes to DRAM shortage.

It's fun. We used to do fun things

What are the tell-tale markers of LLM-generated output that you spotted in the shell scripts?

The opening comment is an essay which no one writing shell scripts has the patience to do. So many things like euo pipefail are so “production ready”. The most dead giveaway imo is test cases (and a brag comment about how many test cases which is something AI loooves to do). No one writing a throwaway joke script would ever do this much production readiness. Plus the readme and website are so flashy and verbose

Though I'm suprised to see:

    USAGE_LOG="$STATE_DIR/usage.csv"

instead of

    USAGE_LOG="${STATE_DIR}/usage.csv"

which would make it even more "production ready".
