READMEs Should Be Human
I hope it's not a hot take but it may be based on how many Readmes that I read that are AI generated.
Readmes should be purely written by a human. You should know what project is about and what it is doing. You should know what features need to be highlighted and what examples need to be given. You should write the README as literally everything else is done for you.
