Just curious - how much of this was AI generated? The readme has crazy emojis & the code was all checked in at once, which is usually my telltale for these kinds of things. Didn't see anything crazy in the source files.

I think its polite to indicate AI agent usage in security related projects like this since they can have huge holes if they're just being vibe coded.

-- Edit: Intended to post this on the board root, sorry.

High emoji use is something I've noticed a certain generation/subgroup of developers just default to. Keeps things informal/quirky. The AI had to steal that style from someone, after all. This repo is actually very low on the emoji side.

Looking through the code itself, I can't tell if it's AI generated or not, but I wouldn't assume the use of emoji automatically mean AI wrote the text.

It's a fair question but I had a bit of a chuckle at the idea having a shit ton of emojis in your GitHub readme was the first flag it might be AI. Mostly because I always assumed the opposite - that GitHub readmes were a big part of the emoji ridden listicle training data (the other being slop "news" site/social media listicles) for AIs in the first place. After all, they are decently well written and come with grabbing the code to train from anyways.

Before the rise of AI, I had not seen much GitHub content with emojis at all, much less overused; I suspect their source is actually the latter of what you noted. Either way, it's a negative signal.
