My submission was actually to a comment, in which the article's subject (i.e. the source article's author) showed up and declared that half the quotes attributed to him in the article did not exist in the referenced piece he wrote--suggesting that ArsTechnica's editors had used an AI to write the article, which hallucinated details.

The article has now been pulled by Ars.

That makes a lot more sense, but just as a note for the future: HN replaces submission URLs with their canonical URL for most pages (they have disabled this for some where the site's canonical URL is reliably wrong). So when you submitted a link to the comment section, HN stripped that out and replaced it with the link to the article itself. It's done this for years.
