No 'real' AI/ML journalism is claimed in the article; the meat and potatoes of the article are provided by Mr. Robert McKenzie, editor of BBC News Labs. It is probably best to direct your vitriol towards the right source.
"None of the stories have any quotations in, none of them have any analysis of what happened or what the significance is. It is purely a written version of what has happened based on the data. So that's quite a big downside in terms of quality of journalism."
However, Mr McKenzie said the BBC was still in the "very early stages of understanding what audiences want from the technology".
