I'm also wondering how this happens.
What I've been doing: pick up a call, wait till I hear the words "green slip" or "Inverse assignment". The INSTANT I hear "Inverse assignment" I hangup the robo call. I call scheduling, sit on hold for twenty minutes, and when I finally get someone on the phone it's already gone.
I saw people in another thread say it can go IA an hour before they send out the robo calls and now I'm even more confused.

I have a deep suspicion of people seeing a trip in OT, calling CS and being like “send that out as an IA I’ll be there in 15”. Is there any way for ALPA to audit CS phone records to find out? Guys should not be making deals at this point, especially with the amount of comms ALPA has sent out about it.

This free for all really needs to stop.

We have to change something. It is negatively affecting too many pilots. The ones not in the top 5 in the category getting 23.M.7 and also not getting GS’s anymore or IA’s because they are honest.

There is zero disincentivize from scheduling or the pilot doing this. It is rewarding bad behavior by the pilot and relieving stress from scheduling and punishes pilots who would have otherwise flown that trip as a GS

That may have been corporate spin, but it was said. I can't conceive of that now. Some legal jousting from ALPA--beyond "strongly worded emails"--might be appropriate.
