And then the replies to the reporter are also AI-generated!

That was the best part, it was like no humans were in the building for a bit there.

There was a human reply at the end:

I've just taken all the pkg pages down. pkgx is about running pkgs, we put up the pkg pages as a bonus for our users to help them. We chose AI generation to give us more time to work on the tool because that's what we care about.

They don’t matter to our mission and honestly we’re a little confused about this reaction. We respect your opinions and are sorry we upset so many by using AI.

Can't say I hugely love that reaction from the dev
