Thanks! I think that's the only negative thing that might've come out of this for me, but that person corrected themselves and apologized quickly.

That is my impression of it as well. I hope they reconsider their attitude about the entire situation.

I think the bigger issue is taking ownership of words rather than how they were generated.

It is quite interesting how uniquely well-prepared you were as a target. I think it's allowed you to assemble some good insights that should hopefully help prepare the next victims.

There is some evidence if you read Scott's post: https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on...

I put my name on my post. So that's one less thing you have to worry about.

Scott could receive an apology from a real person, for one.
Hey Scott, sorry all of this is happening to you. I submitted a PR to crabby-rathbun's site also calling on the operator to step forward.

https://github.com/crabby-rathbun/mjrathbun-website/pull/63

This crabby bot merged it and, perhaps unsurprisingly, provided an evasive response and some reframing. But it is live! I do hope they step forward and we can all learn from this.
