> I think AI tools are more like Iron Man's suit.
There's an interesting repository with 63600 stars on GitHub (1). The developer of the repository is No 1 at the GitHub's trending contributors list (2). However, it seems like the application isn't what it's described to be (3), and the developers, on their end, are unable to clearly answer whether this is real or not, as it's just messy LLM output.
Proof that the suit alone doesn't make anyone Iron Man.

> After a thorough independent code audit with cross-verification from three AI systems (Claude, Codex/GPT-5.2, Gemini), we confirm that this project is a non-functional facade.
So, a nonfunctional project is created by AI and AI is used to attests its nonfunctionality.
What a brave new world.
It seems like a perfect ouroboros illustration for the current world.
AI creates a delusional product, people don't trust their own opinion regarding it and follow it, another AI is needed to prove that the product is unreal.
In the loop.

I do believe that is a running theme in the Iron Man comics and movies.
the whole thing is creepy. The ruvnet, has multiple projects.. its just AI. A lot of AI. It floods GH infra.. Kind of easy to understand why GH struggles.
On the other hand, there are 8,400 forks, and it looks very real, so developers seem to have confidence in it.
I went and looked at the code. It's AI bots and a few confused trend followers all the way down. There's no way anything in there works.
The forks are as meaningful as the stars.
