On a related note - I kept thinking, reading through that - how can something from CNN be that poorly written? It’s not as if it’s a jetliner or a bridge or a skyscraper - it’s an article and an accompanying set of news briefs that a high school English student could’ve knocked out in an hour, and the student would’ve done a better job.
How many employees does CNN have? And how is it that none of them could manage to make sure that that didn’t go out until it was competently written?
One would think that CNN could at least afford a proofreader.
It seems like someone tried to throw together a 3 point bulleted list, forgot halfway through, and got back to it in point three… Then they are trying to add to the bullet points with updates which aren’t bullets. Overall it’s a monkey shit splatter of information. Proof reading could not have happened there. (Much like my comments lol)
And it’s not as if it was written by some schlub in a trailer park or something - the division of CNN responsible for that undoubtedly has a budget in at least seven figures and dozens of employees who are by definition professionals.
And that’s the best they could do? How is that even possible?

I thought you must be overstating it or that it was just straight up AI but - no, it reads like really crappy writing.

Incompetence seems to be catching.
