It was a straightforward critique of the article’s claims
Given the lack of denial to the straightforward question, you're probably safe in reading this as "yes it was indeed AI generated".

There is something wrong with this article, possibly just copyediting mistakes but it makes me question the whole thing.
For example, check out this mess:
> “Unfortunately, there is one significant issue with the aforementioned data: schooling. Seeing as the majority of work to date includes only aggregate data, it is impossible to account. The first concerns small N: seeing as most publish studies only include a handful of TRA data, there is a lot of room for error and over.
Unfortunately, there is a largely unaccounted for confound in this aggregate data which may make generalized analysis questionable: schooling.”
Good catch. Additionally, one of the authors on this is just a student at UWisc, and the other author is also not a professional researcher but instead an author of popular books.
This is not an ad-hominum, but does put into question the statistical training backgrounds of both of these authors to accurate assess the data.

The lack of evidence before attributing the attack(s) to a Chinese sponsored group makes me correlate this report with recent statements from companies in the AI space about how China is about to surpass US in the AI race. Ultimately statements and reports like these seem more like an attempt to make the US government step in and be the big investor that keeps the money flowing rather than anything else.
Anthropic has also been the biggest anti-China LLM in a long while, so it's possible they're using an opportunistic hack (potentially involving actual Chinese IP addresses) as another way to push their agenda.
Does anyone think the world is better with this in it?
Honestly, I'm fine with Google doing it. If not them, then some regulatory arbitrage startup will do it with way more de-facto scam and fraud. Google is not some morale arbiter for the long arc of technology -- look at how they gatekept their LLM technology and got wrecked by the people who actually commericalized it: OpenAI.

I was surprised to note at the end of the article it's written by Cade Metz, the same writer who doxxed Scott Alexander. I wonder if this turn to human interest pieces is a fallout from that scandal.

Would it also be true to say:
AI will change the world, but not in the way the OP (Thomas Hunter) thinks.
--
The first statement, AI will change the world, is low surprise and clearly true already.
The second statement, not in the way X thinks, is also low surprise, because most technologies have very unpredictable impacts, especially if it is "close to singularity" or the singularity.

Perhaps because those things already happened at the beginning of the Chinese Revolution and we're just seeing a phase that's several generations on the future of the transition
The guide starts with the presumption they gained power through democratic elections. Neither China nor most other historic authoritarian regimes started this way.
(Nazi Germany and Putin's Russia being the classical examples of democracies going authoritarian).

Is this really an authoritarian regime survival guide or a not-too-hidden jab at the Trump presidency?
Like I don't see too many of the items applying to classically authoritarian regimes like China.
Let's apply the guide's own advice:
> Always think critically, fact-check and point out the truth, expose ignorance with facts.
The guide after all is written by Eastern / Europeans, the people is getting expropriated the most by Trump, in January 2017, right as Trump got elected and the democratic "resistance" movement was all the range. (Surprisingly, Trump 2 is even more extreme, and no more talk of resistance).
