False claims from people who hide behind random nicknames are 
typically completely ignored by the community. Rightfully so. 
Cybershadow is a well-respected member of this community, 
contributing to the D ecosystem probably close to 20 years if I 
remember well. He also happens to be the guy who wrote the very 
software you used to write your message, in D ofc.

Rest assured that IF he used AI to do his PRs, he _DOES_ 
understand that code.
