I'm humbled by the maintainer's answer [0]. Must be great to work with people like him who have infinite patience and composure.

It is not just patience, he is ready to spent a shitload of time explaining basics to strangers. Such an answer would take, I believe would take a very least half an hour to compose, not counting the time you need to read all the relevant discussion to get the context. But yeah, it would be great to have more people like him around.
When contributions are small and tightly human-controlled it's also less likely that potential legal concerns will arise, since it means that any genuinely creative decisions about the code are a lot easier to trace.
(In this case, the AI seems to have ripped off a lot of the work from OxCaml with inconsistent attribution. OxCaml is actually license compatible (and friendly) with Ocaml but obviously any merge of that work should happen on its own terms, not as a side effect of ripoff slop code.)
