Basically what Jacobin said... It doesn't flow naturally, and there are so many [x] said, [y] reported... Especially to end paragraphs. It's like they had an AI spit shit out at random. Even the order of events seems off.... Not something you would expect to see 4 reporters write, even the gender-studies bottom of their class asshats that CNN hires.
I know WaPo was testing an AI that wrote articles based on predefined narratives. I suspect they will move towards having AI ghostwrite more and more of their propaganda in the future... It might already be happening. I don't even think an NPC could write an article this... Monotonous
