      The bot must be upvoting itself because yet again it listed a bunch of random abbreviations that aren’t in the thread at all.

      Someone claimed it’s not ai slop but a bot with GitHub code but that code doesn’t produce this result.

        It is suspicious that the bot “found” cloudflare without it being mentioned…

        Remind me in the morning, I’ll take it down for investigation.
