This is such an unconstructive attitude. This is the first time they have publicly admitted it.

Maybe it is surprising to some that they this particular research used that data, but it really shouldn't be to anyone aware of how LLM development is done.
To me it's related to the sort of person you'll see who on every startup failure says how they knew it wasn't going to work. Which again doesn't require particular smarts; most startups fail, so predicting failure doesn't take a genius. What I think is much more interesting is spotting a problem before it's obvious and naming it in advance. Or better, fixing it early on. That doesn't get you many internet points, though.
