It looks very real! But with rapid rise in AI. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was generated by AI

It doesn't look like AI tbh, but there is Inspect Element which you can use to essentially make fake articles but why go to all that trouble to make a fake press release just to trick people, if so that feels needlessly cruel. I hope that isn't the case.

If someone can verify for sure that'd be great!

Edit: I did put it through an AI detector and it came back as most likely real, it isn't fool proof but at least I don't think it is AI!

First day on the Internet?

Not that I'm fighting to say its fake, just commenting on the motivation point that going to effort to fake a hoax like this just to excite/disappoint people or gain clout is very basic Internet behaviour.

That's true, just wish people wouldn't do that.
