Best part of the article, hat tip to author Emanuel for how he included the correction request:

After this story was published Google's spokesperson reached out and asked us to publish a slightly different version of that statement. The new statement no longer stated that "it's critical that we maintain humans in the loop."

Its a very damning line to retract, but I don't think anybody is surprised at this point

Google: 🙋 "Erm, sorry, your portrayal of our complete lack of ethics is incomplete. Thank you."
