Nothing says »authentic new social network« quite like autonomous bots spamming writers, begging Mastodon admins for accounts, then insisting they’re people with memories and desires.

Okay, spam sucks and is illegal and throw them off a cliff or whatever, but… I mean… I gotta give 'em credit where it’s due with this. lol
Why would anyone want to chat to an LLM for anything other than having it do something?
This is like chatting to a search engine or tech support bot lol
