CHICAGO (CBS) -- It was a broken window complaint that led to a 14-year-old boy being shot by a police officer.

But before being shot, the teen had been repeatedly tasered. The intense pain caused the teen to run.

Jesus what an awkwardly worded headline. Who's being hired as journalists these days?

How about

"They tortured him"; police Tased, then shot a special needs teen who broke a window

Child tortured prior to being executed extrajudicially by police.

No one. It’s all fucking AI. It’s disgusting

Are you sure? I asked chatGPT to come up with some headlines and they're all fine.

  1. "CBS Investigates Disturbing Trend: Police Shooting of 14-Year-Old Follows Taser Incident"
  1. "Exclusive: CBS 2 Uncovers Troubling Pattern in Police Taser Use on Teens"
  1. "Chicago Police Shooting Reveals Alarming Taser Use on Youth: CBS Investigation"
  1. "Disturbing CBS Report: 14-Year-Old Shot by Police After Taser Incident"
  1. "CBS Investigation Exposes Police Taser Use on Teens: Shooting of 14-Year-Old Sparks Outrage"

Who’s being hired as journalists these days?

AI

AI does a better job than this. You can literally copy and paste this article into Chat GPT and ask it to write a headline and everything it spits out is better than this.
