@404mediaco inaccurate headline - the agent didn't do anything, the person responsible for running it did. the framing you use only helps the assholes doing this

404 - I'm a paying subscriber to your news service. What Cap said is 100% accurate.

STOP GIVING THIS FRAMING

@404mediaco Spammers do have names. It’s ‘XYZ used LLM-powered bot to spam on Wikipedia’ and not ‘AI agent did something’. The latter is just marketing nonsense.
