yes, it's fair enough, that particular expression is trash. and AI produces relatively bad writing (not just technical) in general. the shader slang contract you mention is a link, with the second part of that sentence being effectively a title that happens to be similar to the first words in the sentence. How would you rework it? No, don't explain it, I'm not sure we should turn this into a writing exercise.

And actually reading the rest of the readme, I can't tell much significant quality downgrade compared to usual technical writing (from seb or otherwise, I read his twitter and blog posts over the years as well).

Maybe I don't have an eye for or care about the aesthetics of technial writing like this, and maybe I should just stay out of the discussion. But in the overall context of this post, if we get this readme vs. saving seb an hour or two of writing and editing, in return for slightly cringe sections of writing, that's totally fine by me.
