Recently: Two Weeks Have Passed and It Looks Like Conde Nast's Ars Sloppica Sacked "Senior" "AI" "Reporter" Benj Edwards But Did Not Remove All His LLM-Produced 'Articles' | Benj Edwards (Ars Technica) Used Fake Articles to Promote Ponzi Scheme for Conde Nast and Its Client (Marketing)

Benj Edwards is no longer working at Ars Technica following an Hey Hi (AI) controversy that angered readers.
Slop boosters are going to have a tough time justifying what they did or promoted (or both). As more people realise that slop is both overhyped and immoral they turn against those who use slop to cheat.
