Hacker News.

Author blog about that.

AI generated quotes in a story about AI clanker writing a blog post about a human developer because they didn't accept their code contributions.

How deep can someone go here.

This is bad enough that a serious company that wanted to salvage their reputation properly might wanna consider putting in some weekend overtime.

Frankly, no. Correcting an article about a blog post isn't important enough to force your workers to sacrifice their weekends.
That should be reserved to life-and-death emergencies.

Now what to do about the lazy writer who used AI to write the article and didn't bother fact check it and make sure the quotes are real?

Fixing the article, weekend or next week, doesn't address the problem itself.
