The strange thing being is that they are all copy pasting the same text.

You didn't miss much, just a bunch of unsubstantiated garbage whose insignificance I've already forgotten.

lol that lasils23 thread. WTF even is that? Is that really a bot? It doesn't seem like it but I guess it could be.

It is a bot which has chosen some very unfortunate source material to learn from

maybe they're using TL mods/ TL to train their bot in what is/ is not acceptable behavior.

Looking a little more closely, it's a little too coherent in its reply format to be a bot. Beautiful bait-and-switch troll though, internet trolls should take notice of that little beaut of a thread. Though I must admit he did come on a little too strong or that troll may have been allowed to continue for a while longer.

Hahaha wtf. Is it even a bot? Some bots just copy posts. There was a strange one that copied a post of mine but ran it through a thesaurus.

Perhaps someone did take up the suggestion of running Avilo's posts through a text generator and see what the bot comes up with?

It amuses me that bot comes online and tells us that we are all slaves.

Not yet my bot friend. Not yet.

If so then my dreams have come true.

My theory: they're a human who reposted an innocuous title / start of the thread in order to get past some imaginary filter.

Bots tend to have proper spelling and punctuation, so that theory might be the most realistic one.

alphastar is so good it both trolled teamliquid the website and beat up TLO and mana the teamliquid players

R1CH must rise up and stop the deepmind masheen's vendetta against TL

Yeah the fact that it stayed on topic after the initial bit about a Chinese tournament suggests that it's probably a person. If people can learn to oversaturate bases from Alphastar, why not learn how to post on TL from copy-paste bots.

I wonder what Catherine thinks about me now, twelve years after we spoke last time. Is she thinking - he used to be a nice guy but now he is an insane psycho? Recently I realized something - if you read books a lot, you might discover something harmful.

I have to say, these bots are getting quite entertaining.

What is the purpose of the boots? I've seen them before doing advertising and stuff but what's the point of someone running them otherwise? Just for amusement?
