>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:

>Especially since the meat bag behind the original AI PR responded with "Now with 100% more meat"

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.

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

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.
