Also funny in that issue:
The reporter "Ramon Batllet" (strongly doubt that is their real name, a search for it returns nothing but articles about this very issue) uses extremely polished corporate language and repeatedly uses "we" at first. Then when directly asked "Could you disclose on whose behalf you're discussing this?", they suddenly switch to "I" instead of "we" and claim to be a solo developer with no commercial interest. They still write in a style humans only produce for polished corporate reports, not like any regular human would actually do in a normal conversation.
So we have either a bot or someone very heavily leaning on bot usage for just about everything accusing someone of deceptive behavior, while in the same conversation trying to probably hide, but at least not fully disclose, their heavy usage of technology the accused explicitly does not want to interact with.
