    ‘with the decision to bring to return the astronaut to Earth.’

    I’m seeing more and more mistakes like this in articles this past year. Is proofreading not a thing anymore?

      Ars doesn't seem to have any editors. Typos are pretty common and sometimes they get facts pretty badly wrong too.

      I don't mind minor mistakes, if the news site corrects them when people inform them.

      What is not acceptable is that news sites do not do these corrections.

      I take it as a signal that a human was editing it rather than an LLM.

          I did mean one of many signals I use to evaluate if something is LLM generated.

          But point taken that I should weight it accordingly.
