The only reason I let this and a couple of others in was the involuntary self-deprecating humour. Whaddaya know, "it" attempted to post and "it" failed! At least I know you're you, but I can't find any difference between ChatGPT and, say, <a href="http://thetarpit.org/2020/briefly-on-programming-irc-bots-using-common-lisp#comment-583" rel="nofollow">this dude</a>.

It just keeps happening! What rotten luck! Still, one should be grateful for the nostalgia hit of being spammed by a dumb script. What grammatical yet deranged inanities would a xGPT-powered bot post? Would they rival, I shudder to think, mine?
