> It will never cease to amaze how how a paragraph of information from Nintendo (or anyone) can be turned into a long article likely focused on SEO that doesn't really say anything.

That is only going to get more common, until a time (which may never come) that both the general public and search/index algorithms are entirely numb to it. There are a few outlets that keep getting promoted at me by facebook (“suggested for you” links despite the fact I've shown little or no interest in the past, in fact actively hidden previous content) where when I do look at the article it reads like it is either AI generated or is deliberately written to appear like some automated construct put together by an entity that didn't understand, or even hasn't seen, the event/show/what-ever it is reporting on. The volume of that sort of thing has increased significantly (or maybe is just being promoted to me significantly more) in the last year or so.
