A human software engineer rejected an AI agent's code change request, only for the AI agent to retaliate by publishing an 'angry' blog about him

As a loud and proud AI sceptic myself, I'm used to plenty of humans telling me I just don't get it—I've never once worried about that flak getting outsourced to an AI agent. Well, deep joy, the AI agents are apparently writing 'hit pieces' now, complete with eye-rolling attempts at sass and hallucinated claims that could have very real consequences.

Software engineer Scott Shambaugh is a very much human, voluntary maintainer of one of the biggest open source Python libraries out there, matplotlib.
