Saddest excuse for journalism i've ever seen

How did you find this? Doesn't seem like something a normal person just scrolling would stumble upon. Twitter?

And with it being so blatantly obvious AI fiction, why share it here? It has so many blatant false 'facts' that's it's CLEARLY not a real story..
It was on my Google News feed. As far as why I shared it, is because I'm not entirely sure it was AI and to be honest I really wouldn't be surprised if some idiot was actually trying to do job as a writer (a very incompetent one, but still).
 
I’ve seen sites like this. They pay an Indian writer to cobble some sentences together and intersperse them with ads every paragraph or so.
 
Laughter ensued with the first sentence, when I read "... an occurrence occurred ... "

I can't decide if it's (a) pure satire, (b) AI-satire, or (c) AI aggregate. I'm leaning toward the 3rd option. If it's option A or B, it's inspired and commendable.

Here's another from the site (equally as amusing as the Sanders piece) ... it mimics several other features from "legit" sources.


Here's a link to SI's piece, which includes its share of sh*tty writing, in the final graf: “After winning their season-opening 30–3 win over East Carolina, Michigan will play host to … ”

Scrolling away @ work and I came across this gem of a beauty. I seriously hope this is just someone's idea of a joke.

What the **** did I just stop reading after too long?

Englishing is hard.
