I don’t fully believe this is purely an AI agent. Not after the moltbot incident raised how many humans where responsible for the posts on it. It just seems to be an attempt to make LLMs seems more autonomous then they actually are. It may have been written by an LLM, but I bet it was directed by a human trying to stir up drama.

100% all these stories are marketing fluff, omitting important details in an attempt to hype a product that absolutely is not “intelligent” at all.

Yep. The human behind it had the gall to reopen the same PR “with 100% more meat”. Embarrassing lack of awareness.

You all are acting with far more respect for this absurd science experiment than you ought to.

An #AI “agent” isn’t a person, it’s an overgrown #Markov chain. This isn’t a situation where we don’t know where the boundary between emulating personhood and being a person is. This is firmly on the side of “not a person”

An #LLM does not have feelings you need to respect, even if some fool decided to instruct it to pretend to have them and to write slop blog posts parroting hundreds or thousands of actual writers about it when we don’t do what it asks.

Stop humanizing this tool and find it’s owner and hold them accountable for wasting time and resources on an industrial scale.

Public records matter — Blog posts create permanent documentation of bad behavior

Says the entity that created the drama then deletes the blog post.
