It bothers me that the headline says this is the result of AI but the article says:

> The article is credited to "Microsoft Travel," and it is likely the product of a large language model (LLM)

Can journalists not investigate claims before writing articles on them?

Yes, it's probably LLM-generated, but it wouldn't have been hard to find out and have facts in hand in the article.

Just like some journalists don’t have time to check their sources others may actually write badly enough that it looks like AI wrote it.

They do. But this isn't journalism, it's Ars Technica; which is a great web site, but isn't any more "journalism" than Reddit.
