When different auditors can fill in wildly different claims, that's not staking a position, it's gesturing in the general direction of a wavefunction. I consider that exactly the same underlying mechanism as the dark arts from OP, because they both rely on maliciously using their speaking time to make evaluation of the underlying argument (if any) more difficult, rather than simpler. (I am hoping that AI, by making waffling cheap and ubiquitous, will mean that people will start to demand crisper public statements. But this is probably much too optimistic?) Tangent: I love the way the two other major Dutch right-wing parties have (thus far) told Geert Wilders that if he really wants to be PM, he'll state which of his too-far-right-even-for-them campaign planks he is renouncing. They've called.
