 The script to generate random users:

 ```
 #!/bin/bash

 # Function to generate a random username beginning with 'ab'
 generate_username() {
   local username
   username="ab"

   # Generate a random string of characters
   random_string=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 8 | head
 -n 1)

   # Append the random string to the username
   username+="${random_string}"

   echo "$username"
 }

 # Iterate to create 50 users
 for ((i=1; i<=50; i++)); do
   # Generate a random username
   random_username=$(generate_username)

   # Create WordPress user
   wp --allow-root user create "$random_username"
 "$random_username at amailer.com" --role=author

   echo "Created user: $random_username"
 done
 ```

 Then, generate the target user:
 `wp --allow-root user create amailer amailer at amailer.com --role=author`

 Goto create post.
 Select author dropdown on the right panel.
 Search for `amailer` user.
 The user is not found in the dropdown.
