You can see an actual sympy repo full of AI bots opening issues and PRs here: https://github.com/agyn-sandbox/sympy/issues That seems to be from an AI company. Their bot tagged me while hallucinating a non-existent bug: https://github.com/agyn-sandbox/sympy/issues/70 One of the bots there also commented on the SymPy repo in the last 24 hours: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/17#issuecomment-3693378386 I'm not sure whether to report them as spam/abuse but I don't want to get notifications from their AI bots and we should take care to see if they are commenting on the sympy repo. -- Oscar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
