I discussed with an AI what else could be done about this, but it didn’t offer any useful advice.

Could have skipped this part.

I think it serves a purpose even without the following sentence which accentuates that purpose:

I opened a thread on GitHub, and three people replied with the same AI slop that was of no use at all.

IMO it weakens his next sentence. Idiots asking AI first and then posting that as an answer is a known (and completely separate) point, but he previously basically admits he's well on his way to become of those idiots. At least he did understand that the AI told him utter bullshit.
