Tell HN: Latta.ai is spamming FOSS projects with bogus fixes

On HN

This bot is responding to issues and discussions on random projects at around 3-4 comments per hour: https://github.com/search?q=is%3Aissue+commenter%3Awwqwq2313&type=issues&s=created&o=desc

The bot's account, https://github.com/wwqwq2313, lists https://latta.ai/ourmission on its bio. On this page they list several other bots like "lattaai1", "lattaai4" and so on, but it seems these accounts no longer exist.

None of the fixes that the bot makes are actually useful, and it just seems to be wasting maintainers' time.

You don't have to tell HN, just report to GitHub, they're pretty good at banning annoying bots and users.
