That refers to comments here. (See the heading several paragraphs above that guideline.) There is no rule against posting the results of AI assisted work sessions.

Your comments are casting aspersion without showing that you have looked into the work or its author. This project is a case study in good work done with heavy ai assistance while it is clear that there is a skilled person leading. I predict that this will become very common and welcome here.

The signal works both ways. "Written in Java" would save a lot of clicks. So the Java author may omit the label for the same reason. /s

That's cool. The sound effects seem like natural thinking sounds. :)

This UK government posted a report recently, which I guess prompted this article.

irickt — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 19:42:35 +0000

Seems to me that they are simple saying its not important:

"At 50 years, it’s only natural to look back. But Apple has always looked forward, building tools and delivering experiences that enrich people’s lives. As we celebrate how far we’ve come, we’re inspired by where we’ll go — together."

And, no, I don't think they left it to chance.

Also there's an art video to go with the art animation.
