The recent influx of bots on various platforms, including academic and discussion sites, while the exact rationale behind these bots may vary widely, their presence indicates a growing sophistication in how automated systems interact with human users. Monitoring these activities is essential to better understand their implications and protect users from potential risks.

I often notice suspicious behavior, and I report it to the platform, which helps mitigate the damage.

Dear Marcin Piotr Walkowiak they are almost focused on data mining for training, a limited number for social engineering scope. I believe users should be a more active monitoring platform-side and platforms / providers accountable of those who allow to join in.

Dear Marcin Piotr Walkowiak, It’s strange seeing these bots on RG pretending to be scholars. It's hard to pin down why they’re doing it. They might be trying to collect data, phishing for sensitive info, or just testing how well AI can mimic people. Some might simply be spammers or trolls with no clear purpose. Even though there doesn’t seem to be a direct scam, it’s best to be careful and avoid interacting with any suspicious profiles.
