Agree. People need to chill out. I thought there might be some discussion in the comments about the scam. Unfortunately, no. Complete waste of time to read and much more annoying than the original article.

Between that, the seemingly excessive skepticism it happened, and "lol blockchain was your first mistake", I half-wondered if it wasn't a deliberate effort to dilute the alarm bells that we should all learn from here

Then I had a different thought: perhaps it's a mental defense mechanism at the unease at realizing how plausible it would be for many of us to fall prey to this scam

Anyway. Bizarre.

Easy to fix - don't publish AI Slop, and we can have an interesting discussion

Intelligent and intellectually honest people can have an interesting discussion about articles that the author used LLM to clean up.

There's a difference between "AI slop" and AI copyediting
