ML algorithm that produced controversial statements on Reddit

There was a blogger who recollected on his experience working at a company that came across a power ML algorithm that generated statements that would 100% lead to a controversy on Reddit. They knew it was successful because they generated a statement within the company, that ended up making engineers on the same team disagree with eachother, but the statement purposely did not have a clear answer as to which side was right. This led to one of the engineers getting fired.

This ultimately led them to contacting the US government, to warn them that it might be a national security issue later on, and Russia might have also used something similar to swing the election back in '16.

I found it fascinating, but for the life of me, cannot find where I had come across it and I'm reaching out to the community for help. It sounds crazy, and I'm going crazy unable to recover the tracks of where I found it. I hope someone who's a much more well-versed in ML can lead me down the right path!
