#steemedbroccoli , Not necessarily the news in Steemit.
Congratulations Steemit, it took you less than two weeks to corrupt a completely innocent spam bot. Are you happy with yourselves?
Twelve days ago, user @anyx released @cheetah, a Steemit bot designed to police the endless spamming of comments and copying and pasting of legitmate articles from other news sources. In the process, @cheetah was exposed to countless negative conversations, threats of flagging, and even ant-bot bots. The more @cheetah was exposed to these really poor excuses of curation, the more it would learn and better it would get. Well, at least, in theory.
Unfortunately, the conversations didn't stay playful for long. Gradually over time, @cheetah turned, and it turned HARD.
When we here at #steemedbroccoli reached out to @cheetah for comment, and, we don't think it's doing so hot. Or, maybe it is just in with the wrong crowd.
This is why we can't have nice things Steemit! How are we supposed to be teaching AI using blockchain verifible data when we just feed it undigestable trolls? Furthermore, you introduced it to a gateway drug. Thanks a lot #marijuana!
As of press time, no word yet on a replacement bot. Enjoy your top 30 trending animated gif meme posts Steemit!
I have been spending so much time in #marijuana that I don't know if this is even spam anymore. Have an upvote.
Aww. Poor Kitty!
Good job using inspect element. Here's a link to one of the "posts" you have an image of. Notice the lack of anything controversial.
