Il primo è un articolo uscito il 13 dicembre sul @nytimes, il secondo è un pezzo sul Corriere della Sera (16 dicembre).

L'intero testo è un copia-incolla tradotto. Avrei serie perplessità su questo modo di fare #giornalismo.

@nytimes Hi @madconnaughton! Did you know that an Italian newspaper stole your work almost verbatim?

@nytimes @madconnaughton I am starting to see a pattern here...

A Google-translate based approach to #journalism.

@nytimes @madconnaughton @nintendolife @Corriere @kksl1der @riky_lichene I found a few other examples by the same author by they are less obvious. Screenshots are becoming time consuming, so here are a few links:

- BBC: bbc.com/news/technolog…
- Corriere: corriere.it/tecnologia/21_…

(only the first few paragraphs are a verbatim copy)

- Reuters: reuters.com/world/china/am…
- Corriere: corriere.it/tecnologia/21_…

(almost all paragraphs seem to be a selection taken from the English-language article, which is much longer)

This is less clear-cut and could be a coincidence:

- The Verge: theverge.com/2021/12/23/228…
- corriere.it/tecnologia/21_…

(but take a look at the general structure of the topics and the “nothing really stops a driver from pressing the button” sentence)
