The entire point of the repository seems to be to invalidate/validate the thesis if LLMs are good enough to be pair programmers right now. Removing it from the README makes no sense in that context.
Some hair splitting about whether including the Claude stanza is "full disclosure," or "AI advocacy," or just because it's cool
Anyway, I mentioned the out of scope because if half the readme is about correct usage of the library, and half is about the sausage making, I'd be confused as a reader about whether this was designed to be for real or for funzies
My guess is there were some push to doing anything related to AI at the company. I feel a lot of companies are doing this these days.
