As in "more lines are better"? 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:
