Yeah, AIs tend to add emojis in comments. In some cases it actually helps with readability, but it's true that real devs do that only very rarely.

AI - I don't know a single person that would write code like this.
But I know of at least 2 models that do it: Copilot and Gemini. And llama used to do it, not sure if it still does but it sucks for code anyway.

I use emojis gratuitously. They are super useful in logging to be able to distinguish log types.

I still have to keep my end of contribution rules which means ultimately I have to respond to it. Luckily there is no time constraint.
