A medium .com probably-AI-generated summary linking to a Reuters summary, of a Guardian piece. What's wrong with just linking The Guardian in the first place, since they actually did the work? They're not even paywalled or anything.

(edit: actually I just checked OP's post history and I know exactly why: they're a medium .com content posting bot, their username matches the supposed "author" of the medium piece, which makes me twice as convinced the article was produced by an LLM. It also makes the fact that they're posting a 7-month old article as though it were breaking news just to scrape more engagement doubly egregious. Go fuck yourselves to infinity, medium.com)

A bot? On Lemmy? No way.
