Is this a corollary of Cunningham’s Law?

Precisely. Getting people upset is the foremost technique to farm engagement on social media. Sites such as Facebook even deliberately altered their algorithms to show content that will anger readers because it works so well to keep them invested.
Engagement bait is omnipresent and really obvious once you learn to spot it - even something as innocuous as one or two “accidental” typos in a meme to get people into the comments section.
You say “wildly wrong”, they say “incentivizing engagement”.
So you know how to fix all the security holes the AI left in your codebase, right? Right?
