      Lazy reporting. I reckon they gave ChatGPT the video URL and asked it to write an article about it. AIs like ChatGPT can scrape the subtitles from YouTube videos to generate a transcript, then reword it enough to create a draft of a news article.

      Ok. Still not plagiarism though. They’ve referred to the original author and credited their work.

      Other post is correct. At worst it’s lazy clickbaiting.

        Thats why I’m saying borders on. I know it’s not technically plagiarizing, but they really did just lift the video into text form and call it their own article.

        Yes they credit her, but what did they actually add themselves?
