That was the worst (probably AI) article I’ve ever had the displeasure of trying to follow. They asked every question that’s been asked already on an event that happened last Christmas and followed up with the same speculation that has been rehashed a thousand times and added no new answers.
Well the author is cited as AFP and had many articles posted today, so seems like it’s this newswire service? This seems like it’s written as a transcript for a segment on NPR. It could be that if it was written by an AI, that it was trained on those transcripts from news segments? Also possibly this was an actual audio segment and that was lost as it was posted to this news website. If you read transcripts of segments that aired on NPR, they feel the same way. It makes more sense when you hear the segment and the multiple speakers and interviews, but without that context, it reads oddly.
