#2Then I suppose AI laundering is where you slightly modify, or manually reproduce, the results of AI chatbots so there’s no trace that AI was used.

#3So there's no Deus Ex Machina and no Wizards of OZ, just people behind curtains?
I mean, they gave a hint early on with their Mechanical Turk, right?

AI laundering is a great name for the GenAI IP/copyright reproduction problem.

#6British VC firms like the one quoted by this article do not have the scale, reach, money or experience to talk about these things in a meaningful way.

There absolutely is plenty of AI washing in the entrepreneurship space, but I do agree with you about the lackluster British VC scene (and the even more morose mainland European scene).

You're talking about it...
And it is the BBC - the British Broadcasting Corporation.
But imo, this is why I don't read non-trade papers. They lack the context and tend to be fairly late at identifying trends.
A good (non-tech) example is pig butchering call centers in SEA - The Diplomat (a de facto Carnegie Endowment magazine) broke the entire story, modus operandi, and money chain 1.5-2 years before it was reported by BBC or CNN.

IMO, it is when it invalidates the GPL and only certain people can do it (the people who can pay for GenAI access).

BBC publishing opinions of a British firm. Perhaps read something local and relevant to you?
