Google's Gemini AI caught scanning Google Drive PDF files without permission

Meta commentary but still relevant I think:

The author first refers to his source as Kevin Bankston in the article's subtitle. This is also the name shown in the embedded tweet. But the following two references call him Kevin _Bankster_ (which seems like an amusing portmanteau of banker and gangster I guess).

Is the author not proofreading his own copy? Are there no editors? If the author can't even keep the name of his source straight and represent that consistently in the article, is there reason to think other details are being relayed correctly?

There are no editors.

Maybe an AI editor?

That would be somewhat disconcerting.

Hopefully along with ten hallucinated life stories for the AI author, to pad the blog spam recipe page for SEO.

meta comment - an important moment in a trend where the human and human act of authorship, the attribution in a human social way, is melted and disassociated by typos or noise; meanwhile the centralized compute store, its brand, its reach and recognition, grow.
