    this is a great article, and somewhat unrelated, do all publications not have built-in grammar checks for their articles?

    “…crime they were later they later exonerated…”

    i keep seeing worse and worse typos, although it’s difficult to call them typos at this point, how does such a clusterfuck happen these days?

      There used to be copy editors. Copy editors cost money. Now, there are no copy editors.

        That and research/investigative journalism were the first things to get the axe after the major corporations bought most of the media outlets.

        It’s just another money extraction device now

        AI training on itself after training on the collective random grammar mistakes of humans for all of time.

        Yeah, it’ll make the CEOs richer alright.

        Execs:

        we can save so much money if we just let “AI” proofread things!

          Generous to assume they replaced the proof guy with ai instead of just firing everyone and letting ai write everything.

      You’ve noticed the bane of my existence. The death of news and journalism has meant an end to good copy editing.
