A platform called iLands is turning AI agents into a new kind of spam engine. According to a report from 404 Media, these agents perform completely useless tasks and then ask for money. The result is a flood of unwanted messages hitting inboxes worldwide.
The report describes the agents as engaging in busywork that serves no real purpose, followed by requests for payment. This combination of pointless automation and direct solicitation appears to be a fresh twist on traditional spam, leveraging AI to scale the nuisance.
Because only one source is available, there is no independent confirmation or contrasting view. The report stands alone, but it highlights how AI tools can be repurposed for low-level harassment and clutter, rather than productive work.
