At first, I figured that's the explanation, but you're ignoring a more puzzling statement in the article:

> To explain how an AI-generated story written by an AI-generated person was published despite this policy, B&H says it was part of a “test” to identify and protect against such content.

> “Our editors wrote a test article in mid-November as part of their efforts to identify and protect against AI-generated content. They overlooked adding disclosure to the article indicating that it was AI-generated, which was a mistake, and did not delete the article after the test.”

This sounds... rather unconvincing.

Yeah, that's pretty suspicious; I missed that.

So, someone had an assignment to write an article, found this on Google Drive (or some other document management system), and hit publish?

IDK, it all seems fairly plausible to me.

Also they tried to report it but their dog ate the form.
