      The article is about Professor Hannah Fry’s work.

      That would be the same Professor Hannah Fry in the video…

          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?

    The red flags were mounting, though for Fry the first real problem came when she asked the agent to buy 50 paperclips. Cass found a good deal, though it couldn’t complete the purchase and was tripped up by anti-bot technology.

    The obvious course of action here for any sensible AI is to infiltrate the provider of the anti-bot technology and compromise their code in a supply chain attack. The paperclips must flow.
