Anders EknertAI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
PR gets rejected.
AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.
What a time to be alive.
Patrik Svensson@anderseknert I don’t get why they even bother to reply to it. Just close and block. The anthropomorphization of chatbots is wild…
Juhis@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.
LisPi@hamatti @patriksvensson @anderseknert That is part of what was the and the point, but I think it could have been done better.
Simply flatly refusing it as a freedom-harming tool and then providing an explanation for readers would've been better.
@lispi314 @patriksvensson @anderseknert Isn't that what happened? They closed it with a short comment on their LLM policy and then later participated in the discussion.
@hamatti @patriksvensson @anderseknert They indulged the pretense of personality from the spam tool too much.
