    I hate this headline. I don’t want to defend AI but this headline is misleading even if I might agree that relying on AI for facts is not reliable. The headline could also be read as “a few dozen of nearly 100,000” just to give another perspective which doesn’t sound nearly as bad as they try to make it.
