The whole project is implemented in a single git commit. AI detector says README.md has 95% chance of being AI generated. The code has way to many comments.

I don't want to disqualify you or anything for using AI, but how much effort was spent on this?

wasn't gonna push this publicly, just slapped git at the end. Straight up copy-pasted from termdash for tables, pies, so I copied also their comments structures. AI's cool, I use it all the time for copywriting, but this code is 100% mine, bugs included :D

Not the OP, but I tend to always wipe my previous git history before a public release, and start fresh. Too many embarrassing or stupid mistakes (I'm usually learning some new environment as I go).

Your point stands, though, and I agree, looks largely AI.

The post itself reads like AI especially the line about how it is magic.

I’m personally fine with AI gen code for fast MVP and subsequent iterations.

The comments in the code are helpful for AI. When human coding I was never for having comments in the code (code should follow standards we had set).

Anyway the point about single commit is valid. But maybe the OP is newish and maybe ESL.
