@anderseknert why do they even argue with it!? It's an algorithm, it doesn't care about their opinion...

@anderseknert This is wild. I first saw the blog post link, read it and thought someone was incorrectly identified as an agent.
Then I saw the PR and oh wow. I hope this bubble bursts soon.
-
@anderseknert Ah yes, I agree. The text is ai generated, but a human said "write a blog post about how unfair you are being treated."
@Fissile yeah, whatever it is the level of human involvement is clearly the real head scratcher here. Well one of a million anyway

@Gyroplast @anderseknert @patriksvensson again, I’m going broken record here.
But automating flame wars and flooding the zone like this is _precisely_ the easiest use case for the technology.
It was only a matter of time.
@Gyroplast @anderseknert @patriksvensson this is all so predictable

@anderseknert Ah yes, I agree. The text is ai generated, but a human said "write a blog post about how unfair you are being treated."
@Fissile @anderseknert I think it's more like a log that the agent has been instructed to write as blog posts. Probably in an "angry" way when the PR gets rejected because AI-generated.
-
@anderseknert I don’t get why they even bother to reply to it. Just close and block. The anthropomorphization of chatbots is wild…
@patriksvensson @anderseknert I was thinking the same but then I started thinking that the reply has its place.
Not as a reply to the bot but as a statement to the community and everyone else who ends up on that PR.

@troed that makes all of us, my friend
@anderseknert @troed I mean ... this is an accurate mirror to human behavior #throughamirrordarkly

@anderseknert
Why did the team even take the time to answer the ai agent complaint -
@Fissile @anderseknert I think it's more like a log that the agent has been instructed to write as blog posts. Probably in an "angry" way when the PR gets rejected because AI-generated.
@anderseknert @deuchnord Well, that still means, a human instructed it to do that. We shouldn't let anyone get fooled into thinking this was autonomous behaviour.
