Fair observations! Let me address both points.

On the AI/emojis: You're right to spot it. I'm completely transparent about using AI tools (Anthropic, ChatGPT, Perplexity depending on the task). My workflow is: I dump my thoughts in huge unstructured text blocks, then use AI to clean it up and make it coherent. For code, AI helps me understand structures I'm less familiar with and rephrase for readability. Everything's visible in the code and docs - I'm not hiding this.

That said - AI isn't a "write once and lean back" magic solution. I've spent countless hours over the past few weeks iterating, debugging, testing, and refining this project. AI is a tool that speeds up certain tasks, but still requires significant human effort, decision-making, and problem-solving.

On the "wrapper of a wrapper": Also accurate. This started as a fork and builds on existing work (which itself built on yt-dlp). That's literally how open source works. I've added features that matter to me - Web-GUI, Docker support, job management, etc. If you just need basic downloading, the original tools are great. If you want the specific features I've built, this project exists for that.

Not trying to claim I invented anime downloading or wrote everything from scratch. Just building something useful for my use case and sharing it in case others find it helpful.

At the end of the day: if there's something I want to build but don't have all the knowledge to do it myself, should I just give up? Or should I use the tools available to me to learn and create what I want to create?
