So, I'm not talking as a mod here or saying you're breaking any community rules or anything. This is just me expressing a little frustration in the hope that you'll take it into account in the future, but...

Whether it's an original post or a cross-post shouldn't affect whether the criticism is valid, right? If OOP did something "wrong", it's not as if you didn't have the option of... instead of verbatim cross-posting the original... making a post to this community that didn't commit the same offense. In this case, going and finding a reputable article on the topic and posting that to this community instead of just copying a contextless, sourceless assertion with no reason for any reader to think it's true (without searching elsewhere for an article on the topic themselves). (Mind you, I'm not saying I'd put it past Epic/Disney to do such a thing. But plenty of rumors that sound somewhat plausible turn out to be false.) If the criticism is valid for OOP, I'd say the criticism that you shouldn't have compounded the issue by spreading it to another community is just as valid.

The similarity with LLM-brained people saying "not my fault, I'm just telling you what the LLM said" or "not my fault, it's the agents that did it, not me" is a bit striking here. I mean... it is their fault for choosing specifically to act as a mindless conduit for what the LLM outputs. (Or perhaps their boss' fault if they were acting under orders to reverse-centaur it up like that.) Just like "not my fault; I was drunk at the time" isn't an excuse and a get-out-of-jail-free card for someone who just killed a whole family in a drunk driving accident. (The drunk driver made the decision to drive drunk, after all.)

Edit: Oh. You deleted your comment while I was typing all this out. Heh...
