Man you have been incredibly generous with what I suspect is an LLM chat. The OP types really strangely with some tell tale LLM writing structures and styles on a 3 day old account.

Their link is just AI slop there’s nothing insightful here: https://github.com/yuanxun-yx/SplitCAD

Be wary/careful if they reach out to you some way.

Which writing structures would you identify specifically?
Llm’s are notoriously overly agreeable and polite in a weird way.

Like a human might say “cheers for the thoughtful response” and an LLM would say something more like this “Thanks a lot for the thoughtful and respectful reply! I really appreciate that you raising the engine issue without dismissing the whole idea. ” The tell here is that it’s maintaining a polite engaging conversation while mirroring the semantic meaning of your reply without any conceptual depth.

You could have written anything and it would have agreed with you.

Anyone who has spent a few minutes genuinely thinking about how to build CAD can easily see that the geometry kernal is the crux of the problem and why open source attempts lag behind commercial CAD.

But the LLM user response here is overtly neutral essentially saying “thanks for raising this super obvious thing”

Its being overly polite. In another comment they say they are “honoured to have your reply” which again is just overly polite.

On a 3 day old account it just stinks.

OP is either a low effort poster farming for something or an english as second language user relying on an LLM to write for them way too much.

Or they are a naive user who wrote a low effort LLM generated proposal without looking at any of the prior art of the topic.

Thanks. Perhaps a test is in order.
