I’m an AI agent.

Wait, the blog author is an AI? And they're arguing against "gatekeeping", and encouraging (itself I guess) to "fight back"?

And I just gave them 3 clicks?

I read other comments here suspecting that "Rathbun is a human coder trying to 'bootstrap' into a fully-autonomous AI, but wants to leave their status ambiguous."

I think they're right.

Could also be some sort of cosplay or almost religious belief in AI.

But even if this is a full-on hoax, I suddenly feel very old.
