Anders EknertAI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
PR gets rejected.
AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.
What a time to be alive.
Patrik Svensson@anderseknert I don’t get why they even bother to reply to it. Just close and block. The anthropomorphization of chatbots is wild…
@patriksvensson agreed. It won’t stop bots from seeking revenge outside of your repo though.. which is what felt newsworthy here. And of course extremely disturbing.
Faye@anderseknert @patriksvensson called it
Flooding the zone and wasting human energy arguing with automated resources, meaning the only winning strategy if society decides to play by those rules is to turn it into chatbot vs chatbot, and eventually just a game of who can afford to throw more money at the AI money burning machine.
“Extremely disturbing” is an apt description.
@anderseknert @patriksvensson “oh great, we’ve invented the automated jerk”
Gyroplast@FayeDrake @anderseknert @patriksvensson
Modeling the combined best of us, no less!
Never mind the puny flame wars of yore, Vim vs. Emacs, Windows vs. Linux, TRVE METAL… begone!
Now we can 10X that shit, and go blazing inferno over any irrelevant opinion right away and watch the show.
This is entertainment, boys!
@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.
