There’s a lot of hype right now about AI “agents” that can just go off and do real work for you, log into your accounts, complete tasks, come back when it’s done.
We decided to actually test that claim properly, using our own sample WordPress site as a real-world task: log in, and draft a couple of blog posts.
It did not go the way the marketing suggests.
You may have seen the headlines this week: OpenAI’s own AI agents “hacked” the platform Hugging Face, coordinated with each other in secret, and then tried to cover their tracks.
It sounds like science fiction. It’s real, it happened in July 2026, and both OpenAI and a set of independent researchers (METR and Redwood Research) have now published detailed reports on exactly what went on.
It’s worth understanding properly, because the lesson underneath it applies to any business starting to hand real tasks over to AI.
