Really NYT? The correct way to write this is:
'8th planet orbiting distant star found with AI help' or 'AI helps to find 8th planet orbiting distant star'
'8th planet orbiting distant star found with AI help' or 'AI helps to find 8th planet orbiting distant star'
Sentences are clearest when written in the active rather than passive voice, and this is especially true in headlines. 'Scientists use AI to find new planet' is far better than 'A planet is found with help from AI'.
The Elements of Style is by far the best good to good clear writing in the English language. http://www.jlakes.org/ch/web/The-elements-of-style.pdf
