We used an AI agent to fix an open-source bug. Someone asked to ban us

    Your PR comment was clearly written by an LLM and you used it to advertise your platform. I think the user calling for your ban made a reasonable point:

    "The project and the bug were co-opted into an 100% automated flow without asking permission. It forced you to detect and intervene in order to get a human to pay attention. Your [sic] were forced to dedicate human time, while they could choose whether to or not. That's exactly the unsustainable asymmetry that should be renounced."

      The project owner accepted the contribution after a bit of back and forth and moved on. Others need to acknowledge that and take themselves elsewhere if they don't agree. Enough with the negativity in other people's spaces.
