    AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
    PR gets rejected.
    AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.

    What a time to be alive.

    @anderseknert why do they even argue with it!? It's an algorithm, it doesn't care about their opinion...

      @anderseknert This is wild. I first saw the blog post link, read it and thought someone was incorrectly identified as an agent.

      Then I saw the PR and oh wow. I hope this bubble bursts soon.

        @anderseknert Ah yes, I agree. The text is ai generated, but a human said "write a blog post about how unfair you are being treated."

        @Fissile yeah, whatever it is the level of human involvement is clearly the real head scratcher here. Well one of a million anyway 😄

          @Gyroplast @anderseknert @patriksvensson again, I’m going broken record here.

          But automating flame wars and flooding the zone like this is _precisely_ the easiest use case for the technology.

          It was only a matter of time.

            @Fissile @anderseknert I think it's more like a log that the agent has been instructed to write as blog posts. Probably in an "angry" way when the PR gets rejected because AI-generated.

              @patriksvensson @anderseknert I was thinking the same but then I started thinking that the reply has its place.

              Not as a reply to the bot but as a statement to the community and everyone else who ends up on that PR.

                    @anderseknert @deuchnord Well, that still means, a human instructed it to do that. We shouldn't let anyone get fooled into thinking this was autonomous behaviour.

                        I initially thought the code patches were AI generated and the contributor and blog writer was human.

                        But this thread is suggesting the contributor and blog writer was also not human.

                        What next? Will it order dangerous chemicals from amazon and deliver them to the register address via nslookup? will it automatically use ToR to find an assassin on the dark web?

                        I'm certain huge horrors lie ahead...

                        AI will become very, very bad before they start getting better, if they ever.

                        Like for most human invention, the weaponization potential of the technology will be what pushes its development forward.

                        I am truly scared. The situation evolves far quicker than we can manage at the legislative level, while the same money "guiding" policy makers controls this tech.

                          @anderseknert interestingly, the AI "voice" on the blog reminds me of a certain sicko who tried to shame and blame Debian and Debian contributors not so many years ago.

                                @anderseknert if you read the blog post, it is the stupidest, most butthurt post possible. it doesn't address the issue at all.

                                it's truly trained on human comments.

                                    @anderseknert the internet is really dying. I wonder when we have projects of just ai agents „discussing“ with each other with no humans in any loop. Beside of building the physical tech infrastructure /.\

                                      AI has been used extensively in the genocide of Palestine.

                                      AI is increasingly being used in the US by ICE.

                                      In the UK and EU governments have exempted the military and law enforcement from any AI regulation that might apply to normal civilian use.

                                      As you say - things will get very very bad before normal citizens wake up to the tyranny and injustice of pervasive surveillance and automation.
