I don't have the capability to verify at the moment. But I suspect that a case I worked recently was related. A YouTube video was pointing people at a supposed plugin to make Claude free forever. The plugin was actually a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and credential stealer. The initial loader was hosted on GitHub. The profile was fairly new and only had a couple updates, mostly adding the Trojan and README files.

    I discussed with an AI what else could be done about this, but it didn’t offer any useful advice.

    Could have skipped this part.

    I think it serves a purpose even without the following sentence which accentuates that purpose:

    I opened a thread on GitHub, and three people replied with the same AI slop that was of no use at all.

    IMO it weakens his next sentence. Idiots asking AI first and then posting that as an answer is a known (and completely separate) point, but he previously basically admits he's well on his way to become of those idiots. At least he did understand that the AI told him utter bullshit.

    AI is incredibly useful but also model dependent. I suspect the biggest AI haters online are either completely irrational and/or politically motivated to hate it because it might take jobs etc., or they have used free/cheap models that are in fact pretty terrible because they have fewer parameters.
