Watched the Ars conversation on this one. Aurich pulled the article after a firestorm in the comments, in which the quotes attributed to the AI agent operator appeared to be non-existent (the human subject of the article weighed in to corroborate this). Ars Technica has promised to investigate and update readers after the weekend.
