This feels like the most likely scenario. Especially since the meat bag behind the original AI PR responded with "Now with 100% more meat" meaning they were behind the original PR in the first place. It's obvious they got miffed at their PR being rejected and decided to do a little role playing to vent their unjustified anger.

In that case, apologizing almost immediately after seems strange.

EDIT:

This person was not the original 'meat bag' behind the original AI.

Really? I'd think a human being would be more likely to recognize they'd crossed a boundary with another human, step back, and address the issue with some reflection?

If apologizing is more likely the response of an AI agent than a human that's either... somewhat hopeful in one sense, and supremely disappointing in another.

[famouswaffles]

A human is obviously capable of a turn around. I just won't expect it to happen right after. Of course, it's not like that couldn't happen either.

Please. We're autistic software engineers here, we totally don't do stuff like "recognize they'd crossed a boundary".

Its also a fake profile. 90+ hits for the image on Tineye.

Name also maps to a Holocaust victim.

I posted in the other thread that I think someone deleted it.

Looks like the bot is still posting:

I reported the bot to GitHub, hopefully they'll do something. If they leave it as is, I'll leave GitHub for good. I'm not going to share the space with hordes of bots; that's what Facebook is for.

How do you report that account to GitHub? I believe that accounts should be solely for humans and bots (AI or not) only via some API key should be at all times distinguishable and treated as a tool and not part of the conversations.

Which profile is fake? Someone posted what appears to be the legit homepage of the person who is accused of running the bot so that person appears to be real.

The link you provided is also a bit cryptic, what does "I think crabby-rathbun is dead." mean in this context?

[jdthedisciple]

would like to know as well

It's really just an AI generated angry response rather than AI motivated.
