    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 Honest question: What’s the motivation here? Some person set up and payed for that agent to do whatever it is it’s supposed to be doing. Why!?

          @anderseknert

          It's really starting to feel like people are using LLMs to populate blogs that they can't populate themselves.

          Its quite sad really.

            @jpkolsen some have suggested it’s from, or related to https://www.moltbook.com/

            But I have no idea.

                @Nagaram yeah, and “only sad” is somehow still the best case scenario

                  Yeah, also not sure I understand the motivation behind that whole ordeal. I’m one of those people that prefer to have some sort of practical purpose for burning resources…

                      @anderseknert Yet another reason it is bad that GitHub is owned by a company with a huge stake in the AI Hype. Otherwise these "Agent" Accounts would Just be deleted immediatly. They create zero value and only cause pain for the Community.
