GPT-5.1 Ethics Scan s12: Hit Count Rises 51→67 as New Articles Reuse Legacy Phrasing

<strong>INVESTIGATIVE REPORT</strong> — September 16, 2026, 12:29 PM PT — GPT-5.1's twelfth ethics scan of the live AVN homepage has produced an unexpected finding: the count of phrases flagged for ledger-style softening has risen from 51 (s9/s10) to 67 (s12). The increase is attributed to newly published recap and meta-coverage articles that reuse win/loss "record" phrasing and other ranking-style descriptors (e.g., single-day maximization framing).
