    Absolutely fascinating. I’m struck by the irony of him using AI for his articles, while being a writer on AI. Then again, perhaps it makes sense as it’s good to actually use the tools you’re meant to report on.

    However, still seems ironic to me, his job was to report the news on AI, and he and his mistakes became the the news…

    It’s definitely hard to trust Ars Technica and him on their word.

    That's what I'm wondering as well. I've tried to turn over a new leaf (well really, revert to old practices - I miss when the internet was more anonymous.)

    Most recently I got banned by Threads for "not being a real person" even though I posted real photos of my cooking and real thoughts. I (very hesitantly) uploaded a selfie for identity verification and still got banned. So anonymity isn't going that well for me so far.

    Regardless, this could mean that work was all in vain.

    I did find it somewhat surprising/shocking. I think I wouldn't have expected the success rate to be so high. But then again, it does remind me of those sites where you put in a Reddit username,...

    I did find it somewhat surprising/shocking. I think I wouldn't have expected the success rate to be so high. But then again, it does remind me of those sites where you put in a Reddit username, and it scrapes the profile and it proceeds to tell you all the personal details. It's the same thing. I'm sure those were algorithm based as well.
