> Desperate, Michael even reached out to the company providing the AI test. To no avail. They simply told him he should set up an account with them, buy himself some credits, and test his articles again himself.

Snake Oil Company: "This person's articles were probably -- to almost certainly -- AI-generated." Crappy Client: "99% is very scientific and damning. Fire that plagiarizing writer." Writer's Lawyer: "Sounds like libel with clear economic harm." Writer: "Please, Snake Oil Company, you're ruining my career." Snake Oil Company: "We know, and we don't care. Pay us some money, and who knows." Writer's Lawyer: "Libel, with a side of protection racket."
