I think publicly leveling accusations against other commenters downgrades the quality of the conversation—and it's against the forum rules too.
You can email the mods if it's something that can be moderated, but please keep it private! It makes things worse if this kind of accusation happens to be wrong. (Also makes things worse if it's right). Often it's singling out an actual, real person for unpleasant scrutiny they didn't expect or want.

Funnily enough, that's the line that made me suspicious it was AI. I've seen that structure and that sort of metaphor many times from ChatGPT. And it's not like GPT shies away from criticizing Altman (https://chatgpt.com/share/682623aa-eac0-8000-9fa3-d039580a01...). The rest of the comment doesn't set off any alarm bells for me.

Same, I've read enough ChatGPT prose to recognize it. The rest of the comment has also small cues that point to AI.
