I wholly recommend retaining the Creazilla website and files and using it in a discussion at a Perl conference roughly titled, 'How NOT to release a Perl Framework.'

For the author (if he/she is reading this): An important aspect of software is the intended audience. I get it, sometimes you might want to implement something new but in reality the concept is often instigated by dissatisfaction with some other system (or lack thereof). It is important to share the journey along with the solution so others can follow along.

A look at the code reveals there is some POD in the classes but it is fairly sparse and lacks depth. I also spent some time trying to prove to myself that this was *not* written by some AI bot but have been unable to come to a definite conclusion here. The lack of high-level content seems to be a strong indicator that it is and the subtle 'my English is bad' excuse is how the AI was trained to conceal this. I would add that to the discussion.

should we modify our policy? dont feed the troll --> dont feed the troll nor the AI

Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

There was no announcement before this one. How would you expect that someone has tried it?

In the tarball: No POD documentation, no tests, no examples. I guess it is called a "framework" to justify that it doesn't actually do anything. No, I will definitely not try it.

I wonder... could an AI whip up that code, given a prompt containing all those buzzwords?

After reading all of the posts on this thread, I think I'm going to use this as the de-facto example to share with clients who ask me "should we start using AI to write our software?"

That would be unfair against AI. AI is just a tool, there's no way it can take responsibility for its advice (or code).

BTW: The story continues. That very same "framework" has now been advertised by another elusive account on medium, only this time even the marketing text shows many signs of being AI-generated. Also, it shows even less signs of being related to the code.
