We recently had some similar crap in the Linux man-pages project:

It left me thinking if it was AI stuff, or if somebody was trying to
look like an AI bot. The latter could happen if someone was testing the
review process dishonestly. I guess we'll never know for sure, but I
stopped interacting with that "entity".

In any case, it was clearly not in good faith, which I think is the case
here too.


Cheers,
Alex
