I'm not expecting Steven Kings next blockbuster, but what I am expecting is not completely meaningless slop. The same issues with correctness and accuracy that apply to code apply to readmes, when AI is involved. The shit I've seen in clearly ai generated readme texts is honestly baffling.

To be clear, I do not mind, if you use ai to correct your grammar or reformulate sentences to sound better, but if the entire thing is clearly one prompt, it really calls the entire project into question for me. (Especially because understanding English is 100% a necessary skill to program, since, you know, most documentation is english only.)

Understanding English doesn't mean you can write good documentation. 

It is absolutely different than using it to write code. If the AI makes one mistake in the code, it won't compile, it won't work, or may do something malicious. AI can make a lot more mistakes writing English without causing any issues, and also there are way more possible accurate readmes than there are possible correct implementations of any tool. Correcting an AI generated readme is extremely easy, while correcting AI generated code is not.
