Did The Absolute Sound use an AI chatbot to review the Soulution 717 monoblock amp?


Something isn't quite right about this review. Especially the 2nd half reads like it was written by a chatbot: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/soulution-717-monoblock-power-amplifier/
 

A few Reddit sleuths have gathered evidence, see https://www.reddit.com/r/Journalism/comments/1tzjn10/audio_reviewer_for_the_absolute_sound_appears_to/

Well look who reviewed it. JV. I personally don't trust ANYTHING JV reviews. A very unethical person IMHO. 

Sounds like AI to me, but what do I know.  I’m only a 3rd generation bot.

I met Harry last night should I be worried? Screw ai I'd still like to have the amps.enjoy the music and the reviews
