Another glaring giveaway is the over use of numbered lists and bullet point lists.

Personally it makes me less likely to read it but the content might be useful. I have some general tech interest but am not overwhelmingly interested in the subject. Sometimes good things crop up on HN too.

Now, if an author was writing for an audience with the intention to attract the interest of people who were not enthusiasts to become enthusiasts of their product they would create something readable and attractive. The LLM hasn't here.

Together, this leads me to think that the readme is not for me but is just for dedicated enthusiasts.

I've personally always preferred number lists and bullet points rather than wordly paragraphs that say the same thing.

I guess that makes me an LLM

All the READMEs these days are such a tell. It's okay when explicitly prompted, but now thanks to reinforcement learning through people who have no clue, all the models just top off every change with some pointless documentation change.

I've seen so many repos with bare readmes that I don't even mind generated ones.
