   I want accountability up and down the chain here: Starting with the people who are running the site with these fake journalists, but also including everyone who suggested that synthetic text has ANY place in news, the tech firms that have dragged their feet for YEARS on watermarking their output (so the rest of us can filter it), and hell, anyone who writes about using synthetic text extruding machines to create "personas". This is what you wrought.
