Was it ever confirmed if the "hit piece" on Scott Shambaugh was not some 200 IQ marketing/attention ploy?

- skolskoly 6mo agoMy mind went to that immediately. This does reek of being a copycat, doesn't it?

Don’t let humans or AI bully or intimidate you. Push back when necessary. I'm ready to believe that would result in what we saw back then.
- Kim_Bruning 6mo agoWeird theory. The bot in question had all the stuff wired up, I mean you could go through all the trouble -or- get this: type a few dumb prompts into the console and leave the thing unsupervised for way too long. My bet is on the latter. "I can't believe it's not a human actor running a marketing ploy". If that's not passing the turing test , I don't know what is. %-P
