Huh, you right, that definitely looks like someone playing with ChatGPT.. question: why this one article? For testing, jokes, or because some error?

If you look at the bots' posts, they seem to be active on one or two other threads (all the same), like one about worst code ever seen. There they seem to post random nonsense, looks like poor AI-generated "content".

Very weird!

I think posts complaining against some bug Corp are the easiest way to farm karma points.

If I was trying to grow a portfolio of human looking accounts, I’d have them participate in this kind of threads.

I was hoping to get to #1, and make Upwork regret their decision, but a social experiment... haven't though about that.

That is not very nice of you.

They did something wrong so in response you do something bad yourself to a third party community?

Flooding HN with spam just for the feeling of settling your personal vendetta?

Cmon man. Don’t be an ass.
