    Tbf, I didn’t read the article. But the title mentions “controversy.” Also are people so lazy they can’t make up their own fake quotes? Was AI really needed here?

      Are people so lazy they can’t even bother to read the headline? Maybe an AI would’ve been useful here to generate its own defense.
