Well, another big hint is how the thing answered by addressing a username that wasn’t part of the exchange, twice.
If it’s even manually copy-pasted, the guy doing that didn’t allocate a single braincell to what was being discussed.

Hindsight bias. This is from 2023. It’s obvious now. If it still was this easy to spot they wouldn’t have closed the bug bounty program.

It was volume that was more the issue with the bug bounty program.
They were flooded, and recognising it is all well and good, but not if there’s no good way to filter it out.
They didn’t have the manpower to keep up.

I encourage you to read some threads linked at the bottom of the article. The AI spammers have become way less obvious, one even has video. The team still checks every issue.

Right, but the volume was the issue. The cURL team could only work through and verify them so quickly, so the deluge of bug reports just made it impractical for them to dedicate time to sort through it for the Bug Bounty. The idea being that they got rid of the bug bounty, so there was less of an incentive to generate and write a bogus bug report.
