A fake AI GitHub repo with a polished README might still get hyped to 10k stars

A user proposes an experiment: build a fake GitHub repo whose README is written extremely well by AI, stuffed with terms like information aggregation, WeChat-chat-record MCP, and Xiaohongshu MCP, but with an empty shell behind it.
The point is to see whether posting it to X could still attract hype and maybe even get inflated into a 10k-star project by content accounts.
