Somewhat related question: what is it about READMEs that AI agents love to dump the most useless, hard to contextualise & comprehend, irrelevant rubbish into them that makes understanding a project and onboarding so hard?

It feels like like the AI agents can't help themselves sometimes, and the judgement exercised around what's included and omitted is baffling.

But maybe READMEs have always been this bad, and AI agents have raised the baseline?
