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.

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.
