This plugin is fully AI generated
Unfortunately, this plugin feels like AI-generated slop sold as production-ready software. Once you actually look through the WordPress plugin code, the quality issues become pretty obvious: inconsistent logic, questionable implementation choices, unnecessary complexity, and code that does not feel properly reviewed or tested before release. I have no issue with developers using AI as a tool. The problem is when AI-generated code appears to be shipped without someone properly understanding, validating, testing, and taking ownership of what was generated. And that shows in the reliability of this plugin. You run into issues, inspect the code, and are left wondering how some of it made it into a paid production release in the first place. For a commercial WordPress plugin, I expect properly engineered, maintainable and tested code not something that feels generated first and reviewed later, if at all. There is already enough AI slop on the internet. You shouldn’t have to pay for it.
