The context here is this story, an AI Agent publishs a hit piece on the Matplotlib maintainer.

And the story from ars about it was apparently AI generated and made up quotes. Race to the bottom?

Ars has been going downhill for sometime now. I think it's difficult for a lot of these bigger publishers to be anything other than access journalism and advertising. I'm not saying Ars is fully there yet, but the pull is strong.
