## AI-generated summary

The discussion addresses the discovery of user accounts with email addresses in the `does-not-exist.invalid` domain. [bck055](/t/-/414335/1) inquired how these accounts were approved, sharing a screenshot of the unexpected email format. [NateDhaliwal](/t/-/414335/2) clarified that these users are agent personas created by the `discourse-ai` plugin, which can be managed via `/admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-agents`.

[bck055](/t/-/414335/3) responded that they had disabled the "AI discover enabled" setting. However, [NateDhaliwal](/t/-/414335/4) corrected this, explaining that the setting likely referred to "Include in Discourse Discover," which is unrelated to the AI agents. They noted that while the users are harmless, the user can disable specific agents or the entire plugin if desired.

These users are the different agent personas used by the #ai plugin.

See all agents used at `/admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-agents`.

Do you mean the `Include in Discourse Discover` setting? That’s to do with [Discover Discover](https://meta.discourse.org/t/including-your-site-in-discourse-discover/314909).

You can disable the agents that are enabled, or disable the whole plugin. Though those users aren’t harmful or anything.
