There’s no reason at all the “journalist” in question here should have had an AI generated anything for his shitty article.<

Except that there is a requirement in Conde Nast to use AI.

As a journalist it’s your whole fucking job to do the research and report things accurately and truthfully.<

That is what the AI is supposed to be for.

They can't have it both ways - either they demand AI and accept the consequences, or they give sufficient resources to staff to complete their work without it.
