It's not written by AI. It is summarized by AI based on human-written 
online texts.
This is an important distinction in this case.
The content initially comes from humans, but it is rearranged and 
reworded into a small essay about this software.
It looked like an improvement to me in all cases.
But I agree, opinions can vary.

AI can't write books or compose music, but it can maintain voice 
conversations, give advise, explain details of scientific developments 
or concepts, summarize books, argue political points, discuss current 
events, etc. The most advanced AI today has reasoning ability and 
knowledge on par with people with PhD degrees, and this is not an 
exaggeration.


And it can certainly write very good descriptions of software packages 
for pkg-descr.


You can try to talk to Grok, the most human-like AI today, to see this 
for yourself.
