It's real

This is... uh...
It reads like the author doesn't know what containers are. Because this is actually a great use case for containers unless I'm missing something.
Now, do I want reverse engineering software from someone who in 2026 doesn't know of a better way to manage dependencies than "tell AI to install everything"? Not particularly lol
Also:
It's Eclipse Temurin not Eclipse Adoptium. And why not install from distro repo?
Also why not from distro repo?
NOW distro repo is fine, but only if you use an APT based distro?
and then 3 more dependencies it tells the agent to install from websites.
The weirdest thing is you can get much better results from AI. I'm 99% sure this person gave the AI particularly bad instructions to generate the install instructions, or used a cheap, crappy model.
Please kill me
Even the install instructions are written by AI. Good grief
