I'm not totally sure but I think decisions about how to attribute a source like that are editorial and mostly out of the hands of the author.
But aside from that this article is far far better than anything I have seen produced by AI? Is this just standard HN reflexive anti-middlebrow sentiment because we don't like the new yorker's style? My grandfather didn't like it either but it outlasted him and will probably outlast us as well.

(The hard part is getting published at all.) Perhaps one day we’ll figure out how to communicate those subtleties to a chatbot.
- yawnxyz 2y agoI like the New Yorker's (and the author's) writing style! I'm just surprised they went with "AI commentator" as almost a snide remark, which makes you think some AI hallucinated that part. But again, AI doesn't really hallucinate spite, but that's probably what this AI commentator from the New Yorker feels?
