70 years ago there was a job for someone to stand in an elevator and press a button for the rider. Today we have jobs for people to rearticulate box scores.

I'm not a fan of 5-hour energy but I heard Bhargava interviewed on a podcast and he seems like an interesting and unusual person. He spent 5-7 years in a Buddhist monastery I think? In any case, got a good impression of him.
The article goes on to contradict itself, saying that Arena cites different reasons for the firing, and also that it denies the articles were "AI-generated" in the first place (the explanation they give is pseudonymous contractors).

Earlier quoted context omitted.
TFA answers this in paragraphs 3-4.

Earlier this year, a round of layoffs hit the magazine shortly after the Arena Group’s CEO and chairman, Ross Levinsohn, announced the company’s incorporation of AI.
