My sensor is much simpler. If I see emoji in headings or bulleted lists, I assume it's shit. It might be AI slop, or it might just be kids getting overexcited with the little pictures, but both deserve suspicion and scrutiny.

If a bunch of the emoji don't even make sense it can get in the bin.

Ahhh idk, I saw a lot of genuine repos do emojis, at least for headings. Even before LLMs.

I like them 'cause with the right amount, it makes a README easier to parse when quickly scrolling over it.
