So I was excited when I heard about a project that had got Amiga UNIX running on 68040! The source code was lost in the 90s and this wasn't a rediscovery of that, but the kernel was built with debug symbols and Ghidra could get you something fairly close to source, and also it was based off the official AT&T SVR4 code which is available in various forms, so I'd hoped it was based on all of that.

But no, it's LLM output. Which, well, fine - if someone delegated the heavy lifting to the robot, I could live with that. But sadly it's a heavily documented repo where the documents are almost unreadable, even to someone like me who's probably as close to a domain expert in Amiga UNIX as any living person at this point. I can't build a narrative around the code. I can only attempt to relate the code changes to my understanding of what was there before.
