While the above is true, I'd say the majority of what passes as journalism these days has none of the above and the writing is below what an AI writer could produce :(

It's actually surprising how many articles on 'respected' news websites have typos. You'd think there would be automated spellcheckers and at least one 'peer review' (probably too much to ask an actual editor to review the article these days...).

Mainstream news today is written for an 8th grade reading ability. Many adults would lose interest otherwise, and the generation that grew up reading little more than social media posts will be even worse.

AI can handle that sort of writing just fine, readers won't care about the formulaic writing style.

Well, that's why they're respected! The typos let you know they're not using AI!
