I see these like Blake Lemoine. Obvious propaganda meant to push the corporate message harder. That message being: "Labor is being devalued. Expect to earn less." The very specific reach and targeting of these articles is a good hint here, I think.

If these "chat bots" were actually capable of what is claimed, none of this would be necessary, and no NDAs would need to be "broken" for the world to know about it.

It's like imagining a Ford factory worker in 1907 breaking an NDA to tell us all "cars are coming."
