I've seen it get repetitive, so if it got stuck in a loop with another instance of itself it would probably be horrendous. I imagine someone else has tried. Maybe they have safeguards in place to prevent it.

I won't be trying; the API is dirt cheap but costs money, and I've set a low monthly spending limit. A loop like that would eat up the budget in a hurry. (Hasn't even cost me a penny yet though, and I've run a bunch of stuff through it.)
