Has anyone else noticed news articles taking another steep dive in writing quality recently?

The first major dip was right in early lockdown era. Now i'm finding articles to have increasingly less relevance/substance related to their headlines in the period of the last month or so.

It seems like the easy answer is AI, but I think AI would do a better job. Am I wrong?

No, I haven't noticed this in the media I read. Perhaps you could share some examples of what you mean?
