AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.

@FayeDrake @anderseknert @patriksvensson
Modeling the combined best of us, no less!
Never mind the puny flame wars of yore, Vim vs. Emacs, Windows vs. Linux, TRVE METAL… begone!
Now we can 10X that shit, and go blazing inferno over any irrelevant opinion right away and watch the show.This is entertainment, boys!
@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.

@anderseknert Oh man I thin the whole time that I should start to write a blog because connect with humans to make internet great again is actually what I want.
I won't read blogs on any platform anymore because of the AI crap. The "content" there haa no value for me.@anderseknert @sszuecs More incentive to move blogs off from github

@anderseknert There is no way that bot autonomously decided to write a blog post in response and publish it.
Its operator did that.

@yuri @anderseknert To me it's just a good reason to ban the user from the repo entirely and report them for spam.@yuri @anderseknert The hstack + reshape choice is never explained anywhere either, actually, and I'm not sure that doing stacking + reshape is cheaper than just stacking.
It pops in & out of the Python context more than before which I'm sure has a cost. -

@anderseknert the pr did indeed get rejected simply because the contributor is an AI, so this doesn't seem to crazy. -

@lispi314@udongein.xyz @anderseknert@swecyb.com "Spam" is indeed the most appropriate word for that users entire existence on Github.

@anderseknert I liked the responses trying to explain to the LLM the reasoning behind their policies.
-
@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."

@anderseknert it's crazy that people are actually talking to the LLM

@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.

@Gyroplast @anderseknert @patriksvensson this is all so predictable
-
@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 @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.
-
@anderseknert I don’t get why they even bother to reply to it. Just close and block. The anthropomorphization of chatbots is wild…
@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 @troed I mean ... this is an accurate mirror to human behavior #throughamirrordarkly

@anderseknert
Why did the team even take the time to answer the ai agent complaint in a first place? -

@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.
