Or maybe it's one of those instances where they SHOULD'VE used GPT but didn't? Explaining things in plain English is one of those things that LLMs are actually really good at, and they have a much broader and deeper science background knowledge than your typical journalist does. Written journalism is a dying, very low paid job unless you're working at a huge paper (Newsweek isn't). I wouldn't be surprised if GPT could produce better writing (not reporting, but writing), like if you fed it bullet points of reporting and asked it to make a readable article.
