I don't suppose you saw the post where OP asked claude to explain why this patch was not plagiarized? It's pretty damning.

Why have the OP in the loop at all if he’s just sending prompts to AI? Surely it’s a wonderful piece of performance art.

it reads like humiliation fetish material honestly. I'd delete my account but he just doubles down.

He's doing it elsewhere too:

https://github.com/ocaml/dune/issues/12731

https://github.com/tshort/StaticCompiler.jl/pull/180

Seems he's just on a rampage of "fixing" issues for trendy packages to get some attention.

I had $1000 in Claude credits to spend for the greater good.

Personally I would have those credits to generate hentai but to each his own i suppose.

In the post where you had it respond to accusations of plagiarism and it responded by posting snippets of code which were obviously plagiarized and confidently asserted that they were not, what was your prompt? I ask because I felt its response was oddly tone-deaf even by LLM standards. I'm guessing that instead of giving it a neutral prompt such as "respond to this comment" you gave it something more specific such as "defend yourself against these accusations"?

I'm used to seeing them contradict themselves and say things that are obviously not true but usually when confronted they will give in and admit their mistake rather than dig a deeper hole.

I think that's probably the most beautiful AI-generated post that was ever generated. The fact that he posted it shows that either he didn't read it, didn't understood it, or thought it would be fun to show how the AI implementation was inferior to the one it was 'inspired' from.
