Is everyone just using AI and not proof reading? I see this a lot lately. Even Tom’s Guide has bad editing, a good example is this article: https://www.tomsguide.com/news/pixel-8

Most notably, the display looks set to shrink from 6.3 inches to 5.8 inches

Then

The Pixel 8’s screen is rumored to measure 6.17 inches, down from 6.31 inches.

It’s like they’re just grabbing from other articles and cramming together or adding content to old news now vs analyzing and forming opinions. With all the LMG drama lately, I had hoped written news would take note. Maybe I’m just too picky.

    three forces at work here (two of them on display with recent LMG)

    • pressure to constantly produce content leading to unrealistic time scales, crunch time
    • cult of personality, celebrity worship, narcissism – ignoring any concerns that don’t affect them directly
    • advertising, corporate sponsorship – not wanting to bite the hand that feeds you (IGN’s infamous rating system from 9.0 to 10.0)
