This is by far the most important insight in this write-up and I will be thinking about it for days to come.
1000% agree. I would say AI generated readme is full soup of information but doesn't bring much value to what's intended.
Readme should introduce the project value, the authors taste and how to use it. Too much info, no body will read, well ai agent may read them tho.
The natural landing point for info you'd want an agent acting on a user's behalf but don't want to drag the user themselves through is probably just an AGENTS.md file or something I would think

“Don’t use an LLM for the task” is generally advisable.
No, please do. Makes it easier to see at a glance if it's worth my attention or not.
