This sentence is normally used as a prompt for AI text generators and is not meant to appear in published news. It seems that while preparing the report with the help of AI, the instruction was mistakenly left in the final text.

The incident quickly went viral on social media, with readers sharing screenshots and jokingly commenting that AI is not only writing the news but now also publishing it in one of the country’s top newspapers.
