      @newsguyusa It's awful, isn't it? You & I learned to write proper journalistic stories back in the day when we were taught to write an inverse pyramid for flow. Machines don't get it in the same way non-native English speakers struggle with the idiom.

        Reads like it was written by a somewhat dull 12 year old with a minimum word count which was far too high for the assignment. I'm pretty sure I lost a few braincells trying to understand both the point and the gently mangled grammar.

        Why have a bot write trash which isn't worth anyone's time to read? 🤷‍♀️

          @newsguyusa If that’s the case, it would be fun (waste of time) to see if the direct quotes in the article were real and actually said by anyone. The open source maintainer who was the target of an AI’s rant saw this in an Ars Technica piece about the incident. Because his blog blocked AI agents, AI authors couldn’t read the site to actually see what he said. No worries, the AI Ars author just made up quotes and said they were in the blog post. This AI agent might have done the same. As long as it feels newsy it must be news, right?

          Just a moment...

              But Newsweek, a "Trust Partner" member, credited a human author with the title of "writer": Matthew Impelli.

              How about all ai articles must be attributed to "Hal" or to "T-1000"?
