Thanks to everyone for the comments, and also for the hard work of the cURL maintainer. This experiment has shown how AI can drain the energy of a maintainer, and how it feels to be overwhelmed by spammy reports. It also raises the question: what is the right way to handle spammers?
First, we must realize that no matter how annoying a spammer can be, they are still human—just like us. They have emotions. We are not robots.
In this experiment, you can see how privacy is affected. It still revealed my name, and also showed that ChatGPT’s custom instructions might not be safe.
I knew someone would eventually find it—and they did. This shows that AI still has a long way to go.
I accept that AI can be sloppy. That’s true. The fact that maintainers are drained is also true. And spammers will likely increase in the future. I chose cURL for this experiment because it’s a legendary tool, and its creator is a rockstar to me.
About being a native speaker or not—yes, I’m not a native English speaker. But on the other hand, you’re not a native Thai speaker either. In the end, we’re all just human.
Lastly, feel free to comment—good or bad, I’m okay with that. Be yourself, use your own words.
cURL is still a powerful tool for me, and for the world. I wish everyone here a happy and great day. No matter if some see me as an idiot or just another human like them.
