I think they are asking about why all the spam.
I know my killfile is rather large these days:)

My guess, comp.lang.c is a rather popular group.

Humm... Not sure what you mean. Perhaps, AI being able to replace
certain programmers in the coming years?

Big time spam. sci.crypt is also being assaulted by it.

God damn! Well... I am guilty of training it a bit myself, self slap! I
stopped doing it. It will not give any proper credit whatsoever, and
drain your brain of all knowledge. I will leave you as some sort of
pathetic empty shell, sucked dry. Akin to a spider feeding off a victim
in its web, until its dead... Actually, it kind of reminds me of this
demon in the Zork universe:

Yikes! I think this is about it. Humm... God damn it.

I've seen a lot of spam in a few groups over the past few weeks. It
will probably go away. Even spamming newsgroups takes /some/ effort,
and the returns from drug adverts on technical groups are not likely to
be impressive. It's probably due to someone mistaking Usenet for a
"social media" :-)

Yes it was/is relatively trivial garbage and easy to ignore. Goal of it looks
like to scam someone? Here have been far worse times organized by those
that seemed to have motivated by madness, "humor" or "revenge" about
something.

I am not sure why AI cannot do this, I think it already is!

Quote about the Demon Jeearr:
___________________
Like most demons, Jeearr could possess a victim by surrounding them like
a cloud and settling comfortably into their skull and seizing control of
mind and body. It would suck all knowledge and magic powers, adding them
to its own. While possessing, Jeearr's form could be described in visual
terms as a giant spider with millions of legs, wrapped around and
feasting on the body and spirit.
