This article isn’t very well written, contradicts itself, and uses pretty suspect data to back its claims. It even uses a photo that doesn’t feature any of the attractions mentioned. I’m not usually so harsh, but I’m calling Bullshit on this headline’s claim.

It's written by a bot. All the telltale signs are there: claims that don't make sense, unsupported claims, contradictory statements, poor informational hierarchy. It's just a spam site churning out AI written content to try and boost seo.

I honestly didn’t know that bots writing articles is a thing. It actually makes me feel better. I teach college writing and I couldn’t fathom even my first-years doing that poorly.

The facts don't matter, just that people click into the article to boost views. That's it.

Many news sites don't even try anymore. For a while it was simply increased number of typos and lack of fact checking. Then it progressed to many articles being little more than a few sentences, if even that with little to no detail all. Now articles often consist of gibberish mashed together that may convey some useful information, but often not.

As for bots, I'd wager they didn't use ChatGPT. It would likely have done a better job.
