I now also have nightmares.

You use the word “AI” the same way the right uses “woke”.

See quotes… that means someone saying something. Than a reason afterwards. I don’t think ai is that smart.

Tbf, reading the headline I also assumed the author accidentally took them home. I’m pretty sure this ambiguity is on purpose, and should be frowned upon.

Shouldn’t making assumptions about an article before reading it be frowned upon too?

You do have a point there. Media literacy should get a better focus during education.
However I don’t think its a fair comparison. The general public cannot currently be expected to have good media literacy, as long as there is no proper public education. I’m not aware of any public schools properly teaching media literacy during the general education (I mean before college), so a good chunk of the population, if not the majority, will never even stop to consider things like what kinda assumptions they made about an article.
It is something you can expect from someone who studied journalism though.
So if the goal of the journalist was good journalism, they should plan ahead and use clear language without any room for assumptions. If they use headlines like this it just seems like clickbait to me.

What ambiguity?

The ambiguity of what exactly is meant by ‘nightmare’

That’s on you for assuming. Had the author not bought new clothes and washed the rest that would have been the outcome.
