@mcc@mastodon.social @a@fedi.lawngno.me I am curious if there is a consequential outcome to the resolution of this dilemma? It feels like a thing that might be of utility to anti-spam tool developers, but in every other regard the salient facts are not in dispute: 1. it's a spambot 2. it's operated by an unrepentant asshole the question of whether the bot "wrote" the article "itself" reduces to "how many buttons does the asshole have to push per hour to make the spambot spam"
