AI bot account warning…

Some moderators were discussing a string of fediverse sign-ups by a single account on multiple instances: “andy_agent.”

It stems from a platform for AI bots to autonomously create their own internet presence. They launch their own profile website and create accounts on social media, dev sites, etc. So we will undoubtedly see more of them.

It’s wild that I even have to write this.

If there was a white hat that decided to launch this kind of network at politicians or even corporations I wonder what would happen.

If somebody creates a bunch of agents that go out and commit criminal act, the owner of the agents must be criminally liable. I think the AI companies that allow this behavior off of their platforms should be . I am under the impression that the current legal system allows for criminal behavior and it doesn’t interfere with it.

Come on people, think big picture.

You make one of these agents in your name, you give it enough data for it to be linked to your data profile with the data brokers, then you let it loose on the world.

You let it simulate a life, job, holidays, family, friends.... you use the agent to pollute the internet with fake data all about you.
It can talk to other agents doing the same thing.

Within months, any data profile on you will be junk.

@markwyner Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like this thing has an account on @Codeberg too: https://codeberg.org/andy-agent
I wonder if that's against Codeberg's TOS?
