"the irony reads" isn't even grammatically correct.

I think what they're going for is

> The irony of that headline...

> [reflective pause]

> "Coming soon, in a future software update" [shorter pause] now reads like an epitaph

I think it's human - coherent ideas, grammar errors. AI tends to do correct grammar, muddled ideas.
I would guess it’s an AI foundation with some human tweaks that introduced errors.
Should be OK (besides the lack of irony!). Easier for me to show with another noun, comedy:

"You HAVE to buy her novel ASAP! Sure, the comedy reads a bit acerbically at first, but chapter two through to the end is literary perfection."

Or alternatively, with another verb: 'the irony seems to have gone unnoticed'.
Hehehe have a strong feeling I should not doubt you…

Ah, the entire headline was about coming soon, and it wasn’t at all. The car was going to be good and impressive thanks to future software updates from the company, but instead the lack of updates helped kill the car. (About right?)
