The point is that if somebody says a ghost burned their house down it is much more likely that they are lying than it is that they have discovered objective evidence of the existence of ghosts.

Similarly, there is no actual evidence that a language model, absent any human intervention, chose to autonomously write and post a mean blog post. It is far more likely that a person got mad and wrote a mean blog post than it is that we have witnessed the birth of a whole new phenomenon that is somehow simultaneously completely emergent and also has only happened one time.
