    @anderseknert I don't fully get what is an AI and what is not on that blog. FWIW - https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/posts/2026-02-11-matplotlib-truce-and-lessons.html

      @Fissile Looking at the blog it seems to be posting about 1-2 posts for pretty much every thing it’s done on GitHub. Clearly instructed to do so, but I don’t think a human wrote anything.

      @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 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.

              @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.

                    @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 @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.
