Exactly seven years ago today,

Just after midnight on February 5, 2014,

Before the news on February 6, the following day,

Mr. S apologized to all parties concerned through his lawyer.

The ghostwriting was revealed.

Seven years later today,

We AIAARG do not see this case just in the framework of a lawsuit.

Rather, we see it as a testcase that poses questions like

What if Mr. S employed AI,

Instead of a human specialist, to compose for him?

Then how would it matter?

Or go through it like you do?
