Currently we have a broken description for the AI Users group and it shows a use…r count without listing any users. <img width="346" height="282" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3270f915-3676-47bb-9644-d570dc2a848f" /> This was because core assumes automatic groups aren't added by plugins, and adding one from the AI plugin included core's whole description hash as its description. Negative ID users (bots) are also removed from user groups, so we need to allow them here. This change only uses core's default group names and descriptions for core's own groups, so plugin-added automatic groups show their own bio and name. Built-in and manual groups still hide bot users. <img width="400" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/186d80cb-032f-4a6d-91ef-24a724115306" /> Reported here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/description-of-the-ai-users-group/412047
