This is absolutely hilarious and couldn’t happen to the nicest people however few there are.

    Interesting enough article, and thank you for sharing. But can we talk for a moment about the “About the author” and his apparent inability to decide whether that section should be in first- or third-person?

    About the author: Writing is my one incontrovertible passion. Over the past six years, he has authored over 2,200 distinct articles on financial and tech-related topics, spanning nearly 1 million words. And he has been a member of Wcctech mobile team since 2025. As an alumnus of the University of Toronto, Rotman Commerce Program, I bring nuance, in-depth knowledge, and a unique perspective to every topic that I cover. When I’m not writing, I’m traveling the world, exploring hidden confectionaries and restaurants as an aspiring food connoisseur.

          AIs tend to be consistent on things like that. I think it’s just two people writing things and the result has been bodged together.

      Sounds like it was written by the author originally, then an editor or manager went “this doesn’t sound impressive enough. We need more metrics and hard numbers”. So they copy-pasted some third-person content from the author’s Wikipedia page, before sending it to the site.

      It could be fixed by adding quotation marks around the 1st person sections, as if he’s saying them
