Writing a linter with ai failed, and possibly will never work

Every detail about dscanner screams its not made for me, and of 
course not pre-ai my answer would've been "linters are for code 
written by idiots you dont trust", post-ai my opinion is "linters 
are for code written by idiots you dont trust".

I dont know how to move forward, how to fix code made by the 
worse sort of idiot when my fuzzy nonstructural opinions on code 
are just so different from the one tool.

Ai will only get worse at mimiking my code as it trains and 
retrains on dscanner approved code, and I expect most tools to 
just assume a linter exists and auto add it to the tool chain. So 
this is non-optional.

Taste is everything here, and as far as Im concerned the only 
tool is anti-taste.
