The first thing I do on Hacker News when there's an AI post is run to the comments for a good time. The later I go back and read the actual article, and in this case hoo boy what a doozy. An AI-written summary of a seemingly not vibe-coded python library written by a human being who apparently genuinely believes that you can fix LLM hallucinations with enough Regular Expressions.

It would be magnificent if this is satire. Wonderful.
