And all that marketing copy you read on websites, advertising puffery, etc. will soon be mostly AI generated (with light editorial and legal review). That's not the kind of stuff anyone cares about copyrights for.
But we digress.

I’m not sure what wire services you’ve used but IME they tend to be very, very light on flowery reporting and very heavy on “just the facts, ma’am”. I’m like 90% that the vast majority of time spent on those is done collecting the facts themselves; the actual putting them down onto paper is the very last step and if your local paper or radio broadcaster added a fancy lede that’s probably their own addition.
