AI and LLM specifically can't and mustn't be allowed to publically criticize, even if they may coincidetally had done so with good reasons (which they obviously don't in this case).

Letting an LLM let loose in such a manner that strikes fear in anyone who it crosses paths with must be considered as harassment, even in the legal sense, and must be treated as such.

Would what happened here be considered harassment had a human been the author? I'm not sure it would. If one disgruntled blog post counts as harassment, a substantial number of bloggers would be facing serious consequences.

Hell, what separates a Yelp review that contains no lies from a blog post like this? Where do you draw the line?

I'm also not sure that there's an argument that because the text was written by an LLM, it becomes harassment. How could you prove that it was? We're not even sure it was in this case.
