This reads as an AI generated response as well with the; "thanks", "you're right", flawless grammar, and plenty of technical references.

I think you might be onto something-- perhaps something from the first sentence of the post to which you are replying.

You’re absolutely right, that’s a sharp observation that really gets to the heart of the issue.

The '—' gave it away. No one types this character on purpose.

The AI is trained on human input. It uses the dash because humans did.

I'm skeptical this is the reason:

- Chatgpt uses mdashes in basically every answer, while on average humans don't (the average user might not even be aware it exists)

- if the preference for em dashes came from the training set, other AIs would show the same bias (gemini and Le chat don't seem to use them at all)

Crazy how he doubled down by just pasting badger's answer into Chat and submitting the (hilariously obvious AI) reply: > Thanks for the quick review. You’re right — my attached PoC does not exercise libcurl and therefore does not demonstrate a cURL bug. I retract the cookie overflow claim and apologize for the noise.

I wonder if there was a human in the loop to begin with. I hope the future of CVS is not agents opening accounts and posting 'bugs'

The future of everything with a text entry box is AIs shoveling plausible looking nonsense into it. This will result in a rise of paranoia, pre-verification hoops, Cloudflare like agent-blocking, and communities "going dark" or closed to new entrants who have not been verified in person somewhere.

Makes me wonder whether the submitter even speaks english

Probably yes, but not as smooth and eloquent as the AI they use.

Crazy on how the current 400 Billion AI bubble is based on this being feasible...

And on externalizing costs - the actual humans who have to respond to bad vulnerability report spam.

It's an n8n bot without user input. If you Google the username you'll find a GitHub full of agent stuff.

Who was likely to start it and for what purpose?

Clout? The dude behind the username?
