Daily Chronicle tone not right on bots #10301

Daily Chronicle telling me I'm soon to be obsolete :cry-baby:

Meanwhile, human developer @dsyme made a valiant appearance with a series of "improve workflows" commits (98fdfcc, 77109a2), proving that flesh-and-blood programmers haven't been completely displaced by their silicon counterparts - yet.

#10106

In fact we're all toast with the machine invasion, according to the machines:

In what can only be described as a mechanical marvel, the @Copilot bot staged an unprecedented takeover of the githubnext/gh-aw repository in the past 24 hours, flooding the codebase with a staggering 56 commits and 30 pull requests. The automation army, led by the tireless @github-actions[bot] and its silicon sidekick @Copilot, dominated the development landscape while human contributors looked on in a mixture of awe and mild concern about their job security.

We have to improve the tone and causality here. @github-actions[bot] and @Copilot are both triggered by human action (assigning issues, planning, etc), and their action should be attributed to humans that triggered, reviewed, merged, controlled these bots. It can be mentioned that use of bots was involved, but the reasoning when writing the chronicle should be adjusted to always talk about human agency, except where true automated principals are involved.
