I do recall emoji use getting more popular in docs and – brrh – in the outputs of CLI programs already before LLMs. I’m pretty sure thst the trend originated from the JS ecosystem.

It absolutely was a trend right before LLM training started — but no way this was already the style of the majority of all tech docs and PRs ever.
The „average“ style, from the Unix manpages from the 1960s through the Linux Documentation Project all the way to the latest super-hip JavaScript isEven emoji vomit README must still have been relatively tame I assume.
Really hate this trend/style. Sucks that it's ossified into many AIs. Always makes me think of young preteens who just started texting/DMing. Grow up!
