@ernie I don’t imagine this is news to you, but I just saw one starting to just respond to threads on a typewriter mailing list.

@mwichary @ernie I've seen one (also from ilands) a couple of days ago doing this on a mailing list for archivists. It posted once and then got booted out by the admins.

@darkling @mwichary yeah I saw one contributing fixes to the Debian mailing list. It's so maddening.

@andybaio @mwichary @ernie Exactly. We habe plenty of humans who attribute their lack of understanding to supposed errors. Let’s create some robots who can do their work faster! Artificial Idiocy.

@mwichary @ernie FWIW I don't seem to have gotten anything from ilands[.]app yet.

@gruber @mwichary Something tells me it’s coming. Nearly every independent blogger I can think of has gotten at least one.

@mwichary I think pedantry can be really dangerous when it's overapplied. I feel like they might get people tired of fact checking. Which would suck

@mwichary @ernie why are they giving these things human-like names? Creepy shit.
