Ok, I have not seen any responses from anyone here that actually read TFA (which is almost like a fever dream, it does not deserve the A in TFA imho) but here is the whole F"A" (and it says AI did not delete material!):

The new season of TV4's reality show “The Challenge” has been postponed due to a technical failure. Large parts of the series have been deleted, Aftonbladet reports.

The newspaper reports that an edited season of the program was deleted by an AI agent, costing several hundred days of work. TV4 denies this.

    “It is not true that some independent AI agent went in and deleted the material,” says Mia Lindqvist, program director at TV4, to Sveriges Radio’s P4 Stockholm.

A backup system at the production company failed, she says.

    “This means they now have to edit everything from scratch.”

"The Challenge" was supposed to premiere on November 22. The series will now instead be shown “in late spring,” Mia Lindqvist says.

In "The Challenge", famous reality TV contestants face off in fierce competitions. The first season aired on TV4 in 2024.

Host Ahmed Berhan comments on the report in Aftonbladet.

    “Is that true?! I knew AI would be the death of me. This is just the beginning,” he says.
