How can we trust this article or the company if the writer/so-called chief engineer decides to hide himself behind an AI avatar?

From what I can understand this is the Robbie Dickson in question: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lessons-from-a-serial-ent_b_9...

Nobody has a problem with companies using AI to edit articles, create images. But when even the writer is an AI persona, the trust factor gets destroyed.

You evaluate the merits of the content? From a high-level systems pov, the article is largely correct, even if some details might be missed / simplified

The rest of the website seems filled with just as much slop too...
