The last section mentions that the PhysicsForums admins are experimenting with LLM-generated responses, so I think the site owners are responsible.

> We reached out to Greg Bernhardt asking for comment on LLM usage in PhysicsForums, and he replied:

> "We have many AI tests in the works to add value to the community. I sent out a 2024 feedback form to members a few weeks ago and many members don’t want AI features. We’ll either work with members to dramatically improve them or end up removing them. We experimented with AI answers from test accounts last year but they were not meeting quality standards. If you find any test accounts we missed, please let me know. My documentation was not the best."

Why they would recycle old human accounts as AI "test accounts", I have no idea.

Looks like Greg now does SEO for Shopify. That fits I guess.
