I really love the part where llm.txt has the same notice, something humans will never read, or the fact that llm.txt exists considering that there is distaste for AI in every part of this llm generated book.

#12Plagiarism is a moral wrong. But copyright infringement is a legal wrong (a civil liability). Is what they're doing infringing on a copyrighted work? Or does it fail to uphold license terms? Many open source licenses have some amount of attribution as a requirement, so that'd be something to consider.

#18I wonder what tools the Zig team has to deal with trolls like this. Is the zig name or logo trademarked? What about the mascot he's using as his github picture? They're violating the terms of the MIT license as mentioned in the article, so maybe Zigtools has legal standing. As for lying about no AI, being an asshole isn't illegal, so no angle there. Any other ideas I missed?

#19I remember reading the original zig book post and how weird it smelt. Even though it’s LLM written there’s more than a trivial amount of effort put into it. What could anyone possibly have to gain by doing this?
