Work is underway to dry hundreds of books and other items that got wet when a pipe burst in one of the library rooms in the Louvre's Egyptian antiquities department.
I don’t think it’s AI. It looks like bad human writing. An AI wouldn’t use clunky non-idiomatic phrases like this:
He noted that the area of the pipe break is part of museum spaces that will undergo a major renovation…
Also, A LLM would be unlikely to say a flood led to a burst pipe when it has lots of examples of writing where the causation is the other way round. A human having a brain fart might make that mistake though.
I suspect this article was written in a hurry by someone whose English isn’t great.
Good gravy! I was giving NBC at least a little credit for trying to do mediocre journalism.
I know English is not everyone’s first (or even second) language, but if your job is writing for a living in English at least get some help.
P.S. I only know one language myself and couldn’t read/write/speak/understand any other to save my soul, so I think people that can are really gifted. It’s just that NBC obviously didn’t care about this article in the least.

Journalist could also not know how to write, but the editor should very much know how to read and not let these kinds of things pass.
