Ars Technica retracted an article about how AI is making the world worse because...
the Ars article itself contained AI-generated quotes in it.

Welp, we had a decent run, folks. But it's time to call it.

@wdormann somehow this story keeps getting worse and worse.

I hate to be a doom sayer, but I'll just throw out there that I've seen no evidence that this is going to become less of a problem as opposed to more.

@wdormann also very light on the details. What I care more about is what they are doing to make sure it didn’t happen again.
