Why do anything. Why even do the AI version of this.

Probably curiosity.

If there's an AI version of code golfing, I'd be curious to see it. Maybe they golf worse or much better than us meat bags.

Just ask your preferred AI tool if it can shrink the OP's code while keeping the same functionality; I suspect it could. At this point, LLMs are probably no worse than an average human at sizecoding or targeting resource-constrained platforms in general; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49226923 is a recent example of how powerful they've become.
