Why does it have to be an "author"?

How is ChatGPT not just another tool like any other tool being used to generate data for science? Just because in the past the tools were mostly used to create graphs and charts doesn't mean that such tools can't create text and words describing data instead.

This is just a technicality of what we are calling the contributions of ChatGPT to science being authorship or data.

I'm starting to think that these managers are starting to realize that they aren't needed and are scrambling to point blame somewhere else.

I think work from home is demonstrating that sometimes the manager is managing too much and should just butt out especially when they have no clue what they are talking about.

To produce more copies you just copy the files these days. It doesn't cost the company anything. In fact the pirates are probably saving them money by storing, distributing, and advertising for them at zero cost.

Yes you have to pay the artist to produce the product in the first place, but after that the content exists. It will never cost more to produce it unless you want to pay someone for some other service like marketing it or distributing it, but that isn't a production cost, that's a sales and distribution cost. So those are the only additional people getting hired. People designed to make an existing product sell more. They want you to pay them so they can hire someone to sell more stuff to you.

We don't know for sure, but as the article states they suspect that his prep was leaked. Meaning that Neimann knew ahead of time what Carlson strategy would be. With that said the game still had to be played, the fact that Carlson couldn't recognize that his prep was compromised and that his plan wasn't working still should have been possible.
