This is interesting. Does anyone know whether this is standard for journalism? I'd be really grateful for examples of zero tolerance, because my publisher's response to AI is to shrug and accept it.

För 19 år sen släppte Planka.nu rapporten ”Highway to Hell” om Förbifart Stockholm. Idag sprang 34 000 löpare i första delen av tunneln, som öppnar i höst, oironiskt till just den låten. En seger för massbilismen och en förlust för klimat, miljö, trafik och stadsplanering.
