Another red flag is that the article used repetitive phrases in an AI-like way:

"...it illustrates exactly the kind of unsupervised output that makes open source maintainers wary."

followed later on by

"[It] illustrates exactly the kind of unsupervised behavior that makes open source maintainers wary of AI contributions in the first place."

You could read the original blog post...

You're as bad as the lazy incompetent journalists. Just read the post instead of asking questions and pretending to be skeptical instead of too lazy to read the article this discussion is about.

Then you would be fully aware that the person who the quotes are attributed to has stated very clearly and emphatically that he did not say those things.

Are you implying he is an untrustworthy liar about his own words, when you claim it's impossible to prove they're not hallucinations?
