@earthshaking @arstechnica hey there, did the article change, or can you provide a source for your statement? I mean, Ars Technica isn't really my jam, but i feel your claim needs to more substantiated.

@RWvanLeeuwen @arstechnica it's about patterns of behavior, every time ars does articles about ai they make sure they sprinkle in some 'but it's getting better and better all the time' 'becoming increasingly popular' astroturfing/manufactured consent nonsense

@earthshaking @RWvanLeeuwen @arstechnica i honestly cant see the issue with this article. I dont think they wrote anything to suggest anything in one direction or the other.
