Actually it's not stupid programming.
AI bot models have to be created from something. It's not just a human being explicitly telling a bot to do X or Y, they study how other humans make posts, and then mimic them based on their models.
Bots are studying how certain people here on Lemmy (and elsewhere) do comments, and then mimic what they're doing, to try to blend in. You'll even see bots replying to bots in like kind, to try to add credibility to the original comment being replied to.
Yeah sure, but if there is a chance my bot one for one copies a comment (and doesn't cut out anything as often done on/as I often saw done on reddit) I would still add a hard condition of NOT being able to directly reply to the copied comment...
Like reply to another comment in the thread or not at all if there is only one comment or at least one level further down but not directly to my copied source, that's way too obvious!
That's not how those machine language models work though.
