  value: AI as instrument — dangerous only when wielded by bad actors; developers are stewards, not enablers.
additional property: Missing Context
  type: PropertyValue
  value: No description of how the AI was accessed (e.g., commercial API, open-weight model, jailbroken interface); No mention of whether the manifesto contained verifiably AI-typical artifacts (repetition, hallucination, structural anomalies); No reference to prior warnings or red-flag behaviors reported to authorities or platforms
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines the credibility signal of a real criminal incident with the vague but potent label 'AI-generated' to imply technical causation without forensic grounding; makes the AI’s role feel larger than warranted by evidence, while the tension lies between the dramatic claim of AI authorship and the total absence of provenance verification.
