I think it's ok if e.g. people with a different first language than English use LLMs as some sort of "smart spellchecker".
That the software does some error handling while performing it's goal is not a red flag?

It's not a red flag that the program does error handling. It's a red flag that the docs advertise standard filesystem error conditions as a flagship feature of this app.

And? Error handling mention makes the software AI generated ?

I am the developer of this software and I myself re implemented those features . And I wanted to mention those in wiki too . I did use AI to write wiki for my program , as a sole developer I have better things to watch out than writing wiki.
Thank you
It seems to be a UI for creating symlinks on Windows?
I'm not clear on what problem that solves. What's a situation where you need to move a file that another program depends on for the sake of organization? I can imagine organizing my photos or music, but this makes it sound like I'm going to organize random DLLs in system32.
One of the advertised features is " Error Prevention: Smart validation and error handling." I checked the wiki for more information, and found this:
>Error Prevention
>Validates operations before execution
>Checks for:
>Write permissions
>Disk space
>Existing files
>Valid paths
That seems highly AI-generated. If not, it sounds like it's needlessly reimplementing a lot of what the OS already does automatically.
