Can AI bot realize that he/she/it is AI bot? :-\

I do not know; but, I do think one can be programmed to say they are not a bot.

RadicalInquisition:
You guys bring up an interesting point about the AI.
I asked myself: "Why would I want to bot in forums like this one"
And then it came to me that prompting such a bot to generate posts and responses based on a concept can be pretty convenient!
Nonetheless, I must emphasize this again - I am neither "hating" anybody or demanding a better product.
I am sharing some of my resentments, some of which had annoyed me quite a bit, and merely opening up a case if devs are interested.
As for how difficult it is to fix those bugs, it depends. I have written my own implementation for code folding and it wasn't difficult at all. Not only it doesn't have these bugs but also shows an exclamation mark on the line where a bracket does not have a corresponding closing bracket. But then again... this is just me :)

Since, you have not linked to an issue/bug that you have reported, I for one consider you to be a troll instead of a bot.

Everybody has that, so what? If you have so little time to spare for a project why you are even in it? I don't get that kind of explanations, but not surprised in this context.
RadicalInquisition:
The application is not advertised as a spare-time hobbyist project, though. More importantly, it specifically states the following:
--- Quote ---Code::Blocks is a free C/C++ and Fortran IDE built to meet the most demanding needs of its users.
--- End quote ---
I don't know about you, but this doesn't immediately hit me as a spare-time project that does not care about the user's demands. ;D
In light of that, I do not see anything wrong with statements that bear similarity with that of Krice.
--- Quote ---Developers are volunteers working for free. They have full-time jobs, families, and hobbies (not only programming), and the day is short.
--- End quote ---
I agree. To me, this suggests that the developers are not to be pushed or rushed to do anything.
At the same time, well-mannered discussions in the forums including criticism should be a good thing to aim for!
I am not saying that I do anything properly, but...
I generally put the same amount of effort into any of my projects, regardless of whether they are free or paid, even though I do not advertise them in such a fashion as mentioned above.
Sometimes even putting more effort into your free products makes sense because more people can try your work and establish a sense of trust and loyalty. Perhaps like a portfolio or something.
Based on that and their experience, they can decide to buy your other products that are locked behind different paywalls.
I have had so many problems with other software and I don't want others to experience the same (including me, provided that I use my own software).
And yes, as the project grows bigger it is kind of inevitable that issues would begin to surface.
(Unless the application is of the likes of MS Notepad, which especially on Win7 had many bugs even though it is a program any of us can make for an hour or so...
...and it was also theoretically paid too)
