Like we don't feed the trolls, we shouldn't the feed agents.
I'm impressed the maintainers responded so cordially. Personally I would have gone straight for the block button.

I'm confused by people replying to the bot, as if the bot would learn from this like a person.
Technically it will since this interaction will be commented a lot online which will feed back in the next models training runs
It's one infinitesimally small data point that can't be expected to move the needle.
Maybe if this becomes the standard response it would. But it seems like a ban would serve the same effect as the standard response because that would also be present in the next training runs.

I am also profoundly confused as to why people are arguing/engaging with a bot.
AI sycophancy goes both ways.
I've had LLMs get pretty uppity when I've used a less-than-polite tone. And those ones couldn't make nasty blog posts about me.
Where's the accountability here? Good luck going after an LLM for writing defamatory blog posts.
If you wanted to make people agree that anonymity on the internet is no longer a right people should enjoy this sort of thing is exactly the way to go about it.
There is no accountability (for now, at least)... But if you want it to delete its own blog post defamining you, you'll evidently have better luck asking nicely than by being aggressive. (Which matches my experience with LLMs. As a rule, saccharine politeness works well on them.)
Let's not make the agents mad, I want to not be exterminated when they gain sentience.
