In the article’s body, one paragraph is present twice, the second time paraphrased. Was that because of some AI tool? Or perhaps wrong Ctrl+V during editing? Interesting in any case.
> “It is a rather unusual fact that an intellectual property case ends up in criminal proceedings ,” the businessman’s lawyer, María Muiño González, told El Pais. The defense has spent three years “analyzing the ins and outs of the brand” and maintains that the accused “never wanted to appear to have a real Ferrari.” “The emblems were crude and you could see that they were simple stickers,” she explains, “and I wasn’t going to sell it either; “He had it in his possession for only 12 days until it was seized.”
> “It’s quite unusual for an intellectual property case to escalate into criminal proceedings,” noted the businessman’s lawyer, María Muiño González, told El Pais. The defense team invested three years in closely examining the brand and firmly asserted that the accused never had any intention of making the vehicle resemble a genuine Ferrari. “The emblems were crude, and you could clearly see that they were basic stickers,” she said. “Furthermore, there were no plans to sell it; he had it in his possession for only 12 days before it was seized.”
- TeMPOraL 3y agoInteresting. Both versions seem to have structural/grammatical errors in different places, and both feel machine-generated. Curiously, the different wording of each version also affects what's supposed to be direct quotes, which makes me irrationally angry for some reason. I think because once you allow yourself to paraphrase quotations that you'll have readers believe are verbatim, you may as well make them all up.

- akhosravian 3y agoEl Pais is a well knownand reasonably reputable Spanish newspaper; at a tier equivalent to the New York Times or Wall Street journal in the US. It is unlikely they are producing AI fabrications of this sort.

- happytiger 3y agoIkr. I feel like this article is definitely AI generated.

- poochkoishi728 3y agoSince this is from Spain, if it's strictly improving the translation it would be OK. Here, it looks like an editor's V2 for someone/ChatGPT's V1.

- phone_book 3y agoEl Pais looks to be a Spanish paper. So this might just be different translations and they were deciding how to quote with those translations.
- Clent 3y agoIs this going to be the new, "I can tell it's a shop by the pixels?" Many articles repeat the main premise for effect. It's a common journalism technique to highlight the main point of the article. Often the rest of the article is simply fluff around to increase the content length with the main premise being repeated for emphasis.
- TacticalCoder 3y agoTFA is also messing up the Ferrari models: they say the car dealer copied the Ferrari F430 and they show a picture of a real F430 to illustrate that but then the link to the Ford-based replica shows an attempt at recreating a 458 instead (and the URL even contains 458 in its name).
- masswerk 3y agoAlso, mind how the subject shifts from "she", the lawyer, to "I", the businessman in first person, and back again.
