It wasn't. A real games journalist can't write as fast as an AI can, and would recognise the trap when the Reddit posts they're copying start directly addressing the journalist.
The original redshirt question showed even the WoW devs didn't have a deep knowledge of the subject! They couldn't remember Fandral Falstad was alive when adding his dwarf clan in during Cata!
Ninja edit: Falstad, not Fandral. The latter was the elf poisoning Malfurion with morrowgrain prior to Cata, before becoming the penultimate boss in the Cata Firelands raid after he's freed during the earlier Hyjal quests.
Fandral was also the one calling out Tyrande for being weak and emotional, and unfit to lead her people, for his entire existence in the game.
So of course once he died she proceeded to prove him completely right in all categories as she completely jobbed every single thing she tried to do. Including losing their entire home.
I used to be a ghostwriter for gaming sites who wanted WoW lore articles. I got said just by having a deep knowledge.
The guy whose name they put on the article? He needed a ghostwriter because he didn't know shit, and his fact checking was usually a skim to make sure nothing stood out badly.
hahahahah.
BBC “journalists” and their self serving propaganda
Wouldn't surprise me if this supposed bot was actually a real games "journalist" after all
They aren't called NPCs for nothing and there are times when they're indistinguishable from the actual bots.

Watch for them using this under the cover of addressing "the alignment problem".
Pre-LLM datasets are going to be valuable, and pre-LLM datasets where they were allowed to recognize patterns will be basically priceless.
Swap "Reddit" out for "Advertisers" or "Friends with Benefits" and gaming journalists aren't even as good as the AI.
