Anybody who ever lets AI do things autonomously and publicly, risks it doing something unexpected and bad. Of course some people will experiment with things. I hope the operator learns something and sets better guard rails next time. (And maybe stops doing AI pull requests as nobody seems to like them at this point)

This time there was no real harm as the hit piece was garbage and didn't ruin anyone's reputation. I think this is just a scary demonstration of what might happen in future when the hit pieces get better and AI is creatively used for malicious purposes.
