Maybe you're tongue in cheek, but if not, then it matters by discrediting this person, for accepting code from him etc. Anyone can write a blog post now on pretty much whatever topic without actually understand what is being said, so these are essentially just prompt replies - adding nothing new to the world nor showing that the author is knowledgeable on the topic.
I don't always use OCaml (meme coming in 1...2...3) and maintaining a fork is a significant undertaking.
More importantly, being able to debug native OCaml binaries and actually see source code, values of variables, etc. is something that's useful to everyone.
Looking at assembler instead of source code sucks unless you are reverse-engineering.
Why are you submitting a PR if you do not use the software? You could just as easily donate the money that you spent producing 13k LOC to the project and they would spend it to use Claud on things that need to be fixed or just pay themselves to fix things manually.
This way there were hours, kwh, and dollars wasted on something that will be of no use to anyone.
Nothing!
Another question though when reading his blog: is he himself full AI? as in, not even a human writing those blog posts. Reads a bit like that.
Presumably the LLM also wrote the blog post. At least, it generated a file named OCAML_DWARF_BLOG_POST.md: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14369/files#diff-bc37d03...
Funnily enough, people have been asking themselves this question about this author for at least 17 years!

Either a regular bot or a flesh bot, doesn't really matter at that point, does it?

With all due respect, try to read things before opining on them.
The PR explains why I did the work.
