You should read the mentioned article. They have hired some of the people they paid out to, and some of those people were LLM-assisted.

The claim I'm rebutting is "in the past few months nearly every LLM generated report is real." If that were true, there would be no need to close the bounty. The bounty is to address approaches that they themselves may not have considered, so would still hold value if the claim held true, as outside individuals may still hold unique LLM-assisted approaches and perspectives.
