Definitely AI generated. But the project is interesting, because that space felt a bit dry to me. netboot.xyz and iventoy are cool, but for most basic use cases I always felt these things could be yet further simplified. So I guess I'll go and review the code when I find some time.

EDIT: Found the disclosure in the repo: >I've used Claude CLI to help with some parts of this project - mostly making the web UI pretty, as I'm NOT a frontend developer. I also used it to generate the docs, but I review them manually - no automatically-generated AI code goes into the project without review from myself.

I guess that's fair.

Yep, not everyone takes AI's output, and uses it verbatim. Sometimes it feels like everyone gets painted with the same brush.

Yes, that's why I think responsible people should truthfully disclose.

Since when is disclosure a "should"? Nobody asks if you were stark-naked whilst coding it, high on drugs, having a bad day or any other arbitrary question.

Disclosure is something the author volunteered, its his freedom to do with HIS creation as he wishes.

Get off your soapbox.

Moving forward, perhaps I should state that, "I was fully clothed while preparing this PR."

What a waste of good clothes. I at least vibe code in a pair raggy pair of combat shorts and an xtra-large tshirt.
