It's an interesting situation. A break from the sycophantic behaviour that LLMs usually show, e.g. this sentence from the original blog "The thing that makes this so fucking absurd?" was pretty unexpected to me.

It was also nice to read how FOSS thinking has developed under the deluge of low-cost, auto-generated PRs. Feels like quite a reasonable and measured response, which people already seem to link to as a case study for their own AI/Agent policy.

I have little hope that the specific agent will remember this interaction, but hopefully it and others will bump into this same interaction again and re-learn the lessons..

Yes, "fucking" stood out for me, too. The rest of the text very much has the feel of AI writing.

AI agents routinely make me want to swear at them. If I do, they then pivot to foul language themselves, as if they're emulating a hip "tech bro" casual banter. But when I swear, I catch myself that I'm losing perspective surfing this well-informed association echo chamber. Time to go to the gym or something...

That all makes me wonder about the human role here: Who actually decided to create a blog post? I see "fucking" as a trace of human intervention.
