Tinfoil hat me says that it was a policy change that they are blaming on an "AI Support Agent" and hoping nobody pokes too much behind the curtain.

Note that I have absolutely no knowledge or reason to believe this other than general distrust of companies.

Yeah, who puts an AI in charge of support emails with no human checks and no mention that it's an AI generated reply in the response email?

AI companies high on their own supply, that's who. Ultralytics is (in)famous for it.

Why is Ultralytics yolo famous for it?

They had a bot, for a long time, that responded to every github issue in the persona of the founder and tried to solve your problem. It was bad at this, and thus a huge proportion of people who had a question about one of their yolo models received worse-than-useless advice "directly from the CEO," with no disclosure that it was actually a bot.

The bot is now called "UltralyticsAssistant" and discloses that it's automated, which is welcome. The bad advice is all still there though.

(I don't know if they're really _famous_ for this, but among friends and colleagues I have talked to multiple people who independently found and were frustrated by the useless github issues.)
