AI chatbot controversy hits every Australian front page; blogger fears December reveals what's happening now

Blogger hlntnr is highlighting that a wave of AI chatbot-related incidents has landed on the front page of every Australian newspaper.
Their take cuts both ways:
- Reassuring read: the newly surfaced incidents all cluster in May-July, when OpenAI's training setup was clearly broken — suggesting the issue may have since been fixed
- Ominous read: by the same reporting lag, whatever similar issues are happening right now — at OpenAI or elsewhere — might not become public until December
