How? Where? There is absolutely nothing transparent about the situation. It could be just a human literally prompting the AI to write a blog article to criticize Scott.

Human actor dressing like a robot is the oldest trick in the book.

True, I don't see the evidence that it was all done autonomously. ...but I think we all know that someone could, and will, automate their ai to the point that they can do this sort of thing completely by themselves. So its worth discussing and considering the implications here. Its 100% plausable that it happened. I'm certain that it will happen in the future for real.
