The bot is right, though

I feel like that is going to become a more common saying on the web in the near future.

Not gonna lie, my first instinct was "oh please, no, not that."

But then again, if the bot is indeed right, why would I be miffed about it? Because it was "righter" than a human?

Humans are wrong all the time and we have no qualms when another one corrects them. Why do I cringe at the thought that bots could get it right more often?

My short answer: Who the heck knows. Maybe I am a special snowflake after all.

Automated opinion c&p is lame. It was lame before LLMs and it is lame now. And this is a pre-LLM bot.

Lame or not, some people still don't seem to understand that outsiders cannot access X.

To me those are the same as posting WSJ paywalled links in open forums.

Lameness does not reduce the validity of a point made.

I agree too - I won't sign up for X. The bot used to fix that. The fix got fucked because it depends on permission. Now the bot berates posters instead of helping those that don't have an X account.

The point was made by @nerd2ninja, here: #1555006. We can have the discussion there. If you think it isn't visible enough, start a post. It doesn't need to be C&P'd under all the posts by the bot though, that is spam itself.

This whole discussion is retarded. Do you want the primary source or not?

If you want to be informed first use X. stacker.news is a content aggregator with maybe 12 active users. I don't care about any of their opinions of a more successful social media. If roman storm posts on stacker.news then I'll give a shit what @nitter has to say.

So the point of my original message is if you like X so much, go use that and leave me alone with my 12 active users, but if you're going to share content with us, let it be something we can actually read and engage with, because you're otherwise just being annoying.

I won't bother with my specific opinion on the automated posts nitter is making since it seems pretty well hashed out, but I did want to go ahead and add that thought.

If you don't give a shit, why are you commenting?

I can correct someone without giving a shit about their opinion. Even 80iq maxis should understand.

Roman Storm would be a very interesting AMA.

Might be hard to have AMA and answer questions if he is still facing criminal prosecution.
