This whole story is a little bit confusing since there are two entirely separate ethically questionable uses of AI by different parties, the person running the rogue coding agent, and the author of the Ars article using AI to misquote the victim of that coding agent.

    Yes, and apologies. I just read three or four other posts/articles about various related events, and didn't think about the specific context of this post. At least Ars Technica accepts some responsibility for the misquotes. I was commenting on the other person who made the defamatory post and Scott Shambaugh's characterization of how that happened - not the post by Ars.
