Two thoughts:
On “Microsoft unworthy” — Microsoft quality has been in such free fall that I feel this is exactly Microsoft worthy.
I couldn’t tell that there was evidence someone intentionally ripped off the author’s diagram. This may be the result of models simply vacuuming up IP with complete disregard

If it's the latter and Someone intentionally distributes said model, then I'd feel that Someone is guilty of the former anyway. They're just going about it in a slightly more roundabout way.
Courts have ruled that AI training is fair use, though. (Update: Training, not AI models stealing and modifying content - afaik ianal...)

I find that it really depends on the sections. Do you have a suggestion on another one which feels much better?
I like the term Morg / Morging / Morged to refer to existing content run through AI or regenerated by AI, whether to get around copyright or unintentionally when creating slop.
A better definition has already been given
morg / mɔrg /
verb
to cause a deadly or grossly negligent outcome upon merge
I think I will start using it.
I guess somebody fed the diagram into an image edit AI and told it to make it look "more professional"?
Tbh the "fake hand-drawn" look was always a bad idea.

The folksy fake hand-drawing, and using Comic Sans, have their place. I've intentionally used them for internal corporate docs as a bit of subversion of expectations.
