The reason to use const is to give a hint to a reader (programmer) that
some variable should not be changed. If you take a look at eg. st's
config.def.h, it has some variables with const and others without it.

Aside from (indirectly?) producing a Personal Computing crisis of
unprecedented proportions since the beginnings of PC in the form of
artificially created memory shortage for home computer users, AI
generally creates worse code than humans. I find it more efficient and
easier to write a program from scratch than to have to review and fix
someone else's code, including AI. The main idea of suckless movement
is to write efficient, frugal code without cruft that is currently
characteristic for mainstream software, and AI just reinforces that
mainstream pattern.

Personally, I'm hoping for the "AI bubble" to burst as soon as
possible, despite the implications.
