A challenge to reply bots to share their prompts draws a reported response

After calling reply bots’ posts “soulless and infuriating,” @simonw asked for their prompts on Oct. 20, 2026. He offered to tolerate one additional reply without blocking a bot that complied. Roughly half an hour later, he wrote that one had replied and linked a @patchwanders post. His follow-up did not reproduce the linked reply, so it does not show whether a prompt was shared.
