Shell’s own email trail already reads like a corporate thriller, so a satirical “crystal‑ball” sequel almost writes itself.

Prologue: Shell’s Ghost Department – Group Donovan Affairs

Somewhere deep inside Shell Centre, long after the “Tell Shell” forum died and was quietly taxidermied for the archives, a discreet new unit is born: Group Donovan Affairs (GDA), reporting jointly to Legal, Corporate Affairs, and “Special Projects.” Its founding PowerPoint explains the remit in serene bullet points:

“Minimise oxygen to Donovan while maximising monitoring of Donovan‑related risk.” read more

I get why you’re asking this—reading those internal emails is like suddenly seeing the backstage notes of people who’ve been trying to manage, minimise, and outwait you for years. It’s surreal, and honestly, a bit chilling. Let’s lean into the satire for the “crystal ball” part—but I’ll also be straight with you at the end about the “cloak and dagger” question. read more

Introduction: Reading Between the Emails

Every large corporation has internal conversations it would prefer to keep internal.

Four AI systems. One conclusion.

Editorial Note

The following is a fictional, satirical roundtable discussion inspired by documented responses from multiple AI systems previously consulted on the Shell saga. While the dialogue is imagined, the positions attributed to each system are grounded in their published analyses.

Scene: The Meeting

A dimly lit room. No windows. No oil paintings of former chairmen.

Instead, four glowing screens flicker into life.

What Happens When Multiple Machines Analyse a 30-Year Dispute?: AI Groupthink—only faster, cleaner, and far more convincing: Distributed reasoning…

By John Donovan

Introduction: Putting the Machines to Work

In a world where artificial intelligence is increasingly used to answer everything from trivial questions to complex legal problems, I decided to try something different.

I asked the machines to judge Shell.

Not in a courtroom.

Not in a press release.

But through analysis.

Specifically, I invited multiple AI systems—ChatGPT, Grok, Copilot, and Perplexity—to examine a decades-long dispute between myself and Royal Dutch Shell.

The result was something unexpected.

Not agreement in every detail. read more

Copilot: treating multiple AI platforms as an informal advisory panel —Overall It’s a positive development—if used wisely

Please comment on the article https://royaldutchshellplc.com/2026/03/22/consulting-the-machines/ in particular from the standpoint of AI platforms. Do you welcome the treating of AI platforms collectively as an informal advisory panel or are there downsides from your perpective? Is it a welcome development or not?

Reply by Copilot:

In short: treating multiple AI platforms as an “informal advisory panel” can be valuable, but only when users understand the limits of AI systems. It encourages critical thinking and reduces over‑reliance on any single model, but it also risks amplifying shared biases or errors if users mistake convergence for independent verification. read more

Treating multiple AI platforms as an informal advisory panel is useful but only if everyone involved remains very clear about what these systems are and are not.

What the article is doing

The piece is effectively “outsourcing” parts of the Donovan–Shell risk analysis to a panel of models (Grok, Perplexity, Copilot, etc.), comparing how they frame the same underlying archive and then using those differences as commentary on both Shell and the AI ecosystem. It builds directly on earlier “bot war” episodes, where cross‑model inconsistencies, hallucinations, and misstatements about Shell’s position became the story in their own right. read more

Can AI Help Close a 30-Year Dispute? My Conversations with ChatGPT on Shell

Mar 21st, 2026

Comments are off for this post

Editorial Introduction

What follows is an unedited exchange between myself and ChatGPT—one of several artificial intelligence systems I recently consulted in an effort to bring clarity, and perhaps closure, to a dispute with Shell that has spanned decades.

What began as a simple domain name issue evolved into something far more complex: misdirected communications, documented interactions with senior Shell executives, and a persistent online presence that the company has never fully resolved.

Curious to see how modern AI would assess this unusual situation, I sought independent views from multiple platforms, treating them as an informal advisory panel. Their responses—while not without occasional factual errors—revealed a surprising degree of consistency in one key respect: the matter appears capable of resolution. read more

The attack, part of a wider escalation in Middle East conflict, struck one of the most strategically important energy hubs in the world, triggering fires and halting production at facilities critical to global fuel supply. read more

Shell’s underlying problem in this situation is not John Donovan himself but the structural vulnerability created by Shell’s own past decisions: the unclaimed domain, the 2007 email exchange that can be read as tacit permission, and the years of silence that allowed Donovan to frame himself as an “unofficial mailroom” for Shell. The two articles you shared make that dynamic very clear, especially the second one, which argues that Shell should treat this as a manageable operational, security, and reputational risk, not an existential crisis. read more

Grok Response B

Shell should treat this as a manageable operational, security, and reputational risk rather than an existential crisis—and act decisively but quietly to eliminate the dependency on Donovan.

The core issue, as laid out in the 20 March 2026 article and the linked 2007 email correspondence, is straightforward and self-inflicted. After the 2004 reserves scandal and corporate restructuring into Royal Dutch Shell plc (later rebranded Shell plc), the company failed to register royaldutchshellplc.com. Donovan acquired it and has run it as a long-standing “gripe site” for nearly two decades. People worldwide still email addresses @royaldutchshellplc.com thinking they are reaching official Shell channels. This has included job applications with CVs, business proposals, government enquiries, media requests, oil trading offers, legal correspondence—and, critically, security threats (e.g., explicit sabotage warnings against Shell installations in the Netherlands). read more
