I have not enabled any Ai features as far as I am aware. But suddenly there are a whole lot of bot accounts i did not create. These appeared after the latest set of updates. Why did these get created and how can I get rid of them? I have no need of Ai for the forum.
AI-generated summary
Andro reports the sudden appearance of numerous bot accounts on their forum, despite not enabling AI features. They ask why these accounts were created after recent updates and how to remove them.
nickdb explains that these bots are part of the core build regardless of feature usage. Recently, a single agent account was split into individual accounts for specific features, as detailed in this pull request. Nickdb suggests that if the system allows, users can remove these accounts and their dependencies if they do not intend to use AI features, though he notes that AI agents are becoming integral to platform security, such as anti-spam measures.
They are part of the build whether you use them or not, recently a single account for the agent was broken out to individual ones for the relevant features.
Something I also noticed. If the system will let you, can’t see why you can’t remove them and their dependencies, if you will never use them.
It’s something that is becoming integral to the platform, I couldn’t imagine anti-spam without the AI agent..
