It is a questionable and subjective metric. pkg-descr's are freeform texts that are consumed by humans. Personally, I'd never want to read a book that is AI generated, or watch an AI-generated film (not some short funny vid, but a movie), or listen to an AI-generated song. I believe that a pkg-descr written by a human is much more valuable than an AI-generated bullshit. Anyways, if you want some concrete examples: > Its long > +history of use attests to its reliability and enduring utility > +in various computing environments. > It is an ideal solution > +for users who prioritize a clean desktop and efficient application > +management. > It is an ideal solution > +for users who prioritize a clean desktop and efficient application > +management.
