Could A.I. be used to proofread for these kinds of unfortunate headlines?

I mean, how much personal experience does Riley Kehoe have with Tucker Carlson? Is it really fair for her to claim that the demons who attacked her were “just like Tucker Carlson”? And in what ways were they “just like Tucker Carlson”?

The Christian Post has had several recent articles about Tucker Carlson claiming he was attacked by demons----so I couldn’t resist posting this comment below the latest such article:

Did anyone see this morning’s headline in the Daily Mail? “My frightening account of being attacked by demons just like Tucker Carlson.” I mean, how much personal experience does the lady in the article have with Tucker Carlson? Is it really fair for her to claim that the demons who attacked her were “just like Tucker Carlson”? And precisely in what ways were they “just like Tucker Carlson”?

I know that demons can be deceptive but why would they want to be just like Tucker Carlson? Personal admiration? Political aspirations? Or just big fans of his show?

Nothing a little prescriptive grammar wouldn’t fix. She of course meant to say “I was attacked by demons just as Tucker Carlson”. But I’ll admit that your interpretation makes more logical sense.

I just think it’s funny that no editor caught it and made that substitution. Or did they see it and thought it would be funny?

The Daily Mail has been criticised for its unreliability, its printing of sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories about science and medical research,[17][18][19][20] and for instances of plagiarism and copyright infringement.[21][22][23][24] In February 2017, the English Wikipedia banned the use of the Daily Mail as a reliable source.[25][26][27] [Wikipedia]

I would suggest that such ambiguously-worded titles are the least of their problems. :stuck_out_tongue:

For sure. I follow the links to Daily Mail now and then because it is often very funny. It is definitely tabloid quality.
