It's not even the AI prose which is the problem (although I detest it too); it's the lack of respect for the reader. I've started employing 'AI;DR' - if someone wants my (limited) time then they should earn it by writing themselves.
why oh why does the author think that it is ok to have the first thing people will read be completely devoid of clarity and to-the-point substance?
"""meclaw is three things, and you only install the first one. meclaw is the substrate: a directory tree that runs — every folder an actor, every edge a route, one Rust binary underneath. meclaw-os is a small, experimental operating system for agents, grown onto that substrate at runtime. An assistant is grown into the OS the same way — a JSON file, not a deployment. Install once, grow everything else."""
Like seriously dude, what semantic value does "Install once, grow everything else." actually add? Can't you see the complete self-defeating nature of pushing out this kind of vapid prose?
Also "a directory tree that runs" what the hell, you mean like any folder structure that contains code? Hey my python package is also a "directory tree that runs"! How is that good, again: what is the value of a "directory tree that runs"? seriously?
And then "every edge a route, one Rust binary underneath" You mean the code that runs is "underneath"? Like my mousepad is also underneath my mouse, should we also put this in your package description?
Any value this effort may have had is completely destroyed, and anything else you may have produced, by association.
