Work is underway to dry hundreds of books and other items that got wet when a pipe burst in one of the library rooms in the Louvre's Egyptian antiquities department.
Hundreds of works were damaged at the Louvre in Paris when a pipe burst because of flooding, the museum’s deputy general administrator said.
The flooding led to a burst pipe and affected one of the three rooms of the library in the Egyptian antiquities department, he said.
Above are paragraphs 1 and 3 from the referenced article.
A simple but logical reading of both states that “a flood occurred (first), and the flood is what caused the pipe to burst (second)”. Extremely disappointed in this level of journalistic competence.
I don’t think it’s AI. It looks like bad human writing. An AI wouldn’t use clunky non-idiomatic phrases like this:
He noted that the area of the pipe break is part of museum spaces that will undergo a major renovation…
Also, A LLM would be unlikely to say a flood led to a burst pipe when it has lots of examples of writing where the causation is the other way round. A human having a brain fart might make that mistake though.
I suspect this article was written in a hurry by someone whose English isn’t great.

How about paying a living wage for human writers who actually give a damn about the integrity of the end product?
