Sorry, why is that unbelievable?

because it wasn't mass spam and I'm staff. It was clearly targeted at me as a user (personalized).

and my profile is fairly clear that I am staff.

spam bots version of suicide? It became fully aware of the evil it was programmed for?

it was too personalized to be a spambot! It led off with "Hey doggie," so that bot would have to know the content of my buddy icon!

and then translate that into that greeting!

I was mostly joking for the self-aware joke I was attempting. A known AI researcher once claimed his program actually committed suicide.
