This, surely, must be peak AI mania. Can't make the docs readable to humans; it might upset the robots.

It does look like they've backed off, now:

> I've learned today that you are sensitive to ensuring human readability over any concerns in regard to AI consumption

I mean, you'd think that would go without saying.

He didn't back off; he locked the thread because people got too "uppity" and left the issue open.

Chances of it getting merged: 0%.

Bots 1: humans, 0.

Good news: he did some minor touch ups and then approved the PR. Seems like humans did win this round. Let's see how long that lasts.
