    So, I have the opposite reaction in reading that paragraph you quoted; I think that it is almost certainly written by a human, who probably very carefully chose their words, and has to do with the purpose of the Ageless Linux project in the first place. Namely, I get the impression their endgoal is to establish a legal precedent against the concept of age-verified OSes.
    I have no idea what the particulars of the bill that prompted this project are, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say the bill makes some kind of reference to 'covered application stores', and so they might be trying to establish some kind of blanket protection against mandated age verification for "publicly available internet websites distributing and facilitating the download of applications to users of a general purpose computing device".
    I do, however, agree snippets of the project seem AI-generated. I would point out then that in this case it straight-up does not matter; this is not intended as an OS for actual use, it's intended as Supreme Court decision bait. If AI helps them get it up and running faster, then... whatever?
