The press is becoming a laughing joke. Some seem to be using AI (abysmal intelligence) to write articles, and proof reading is becoming a lost art.

The Daily Sun in South Africa, sort of.
An editor at a lunch held for selected readers explained that this image shared on social media was a spoof not created by anyone at the newspaper, and not an original headline or news story.

That I believe, but a lot of article published these days are not spoofs but demonstrations of sheer stupidity.
Did you know, and I quote, "There are eight planets in the Solar system and none harbour life."
Or how about "I got the corners to put in the parking meter."
I come across errors like that daily, and it is getting worse.
