Entirely Automated AI-Powered Balanced News Site*
Entirely Automated AI-Powered Balanced News Site*
For the last few months our team has been working on an entirely automated AI-powered news site. I am excited to announce that v1.0 is finally being released. This version includes full coverage with every article generated from 2 left leaning, 2 right leaning, and 2 neutral sources. We have also added an anonymous commenting system for people to share their opinions freely. Our servers are now running 24/7 so that new articles appear as they happen! Let me know what you guys think, as well as any comments/concerns/questions you have!

Good gods, no.
The last thing this world needs is bot-generated news making things up and/or muddying the waters any further. There's already enough disinformation, thank you.
Hey, take a look at the articles and let me know what you think.
There's absolutely nothing to say. The entire premise of the project is beyond reprehensible. It's not gathering facts, investigating leads, following trails, or earning any of the knowledge.
It's scraping the work real journalists have done, repackaging it, and presenting a bastardized version of it.
The project adds absolutely no value to the world and, if adopted by any publications morally bankrupt enough to do so, will put real journalists out of work.
And then who's work will it scrape?
Well this is the most dystopian thing I've seen today. The RFK article alone is a single right leaning source quoted twice and does 0 analysis on any claim.
If you fundamentally believe quoting NBC and the NY post is useful as 'both sides', I think you're a shame to your name, or beyond sheltered.
I'm not even endorsing it, but if you want at least a veneer of lefty opinions start with Jacobin, they're the ideological opposite of Fox news if there is one. And even on the worst day the content is better sourced.
Quoting fox news and NPR is useful if you have something to add, or analyze, not scrape and then provide no direct quotes.
You want an actually useful AI project? Take every direct word from public speeches and fact check it from public/govt DBs.
So I’m trying to get some info about an upcoming medical procedure. I wanted to make sure I get a balanced view so I asked 2 doctors, 2 people who once took a first aid class once at summer camp, and 2 who believe vaccines cause autism.

Pretty convenient for you to leave out the stories lol.
Finding "AI" inaccuracies is the least surprising thing in the world. Given how LLMs work and their extremely well-documented failures to produce accurate information, the burden of proof lies squarely on "AI" vendors to show the accuracy of their products. To say that they have thus far failed to do so is... generous.
None of this snake oil should be touching news.
Holy fuck this site made me fear the future.
As usual LLM generated text looks like Mighty Fine Sentences, but there is no meaning behind them, it just produces good looking Language. The content is just pretty looking regurgitation of someone elses sentences. It doesn't matter what way the sources are leaning, the LLM doesn't actually understand the undercurrent of the meaning and does no analysis nor verification on any claim, it just presents everything as a pretty looking facts because "it heard it on the Internet".
Having sites like Fox News as a source? Why? They're not the journalistic "other side" - they're just a fucking clown car. You might as well include TV-evangelists as a source then, because their words "come from God". All your sources are right, far-right or "off the fucking scale right".
That was the worst possible way to start my morning.
The best way to move forward with this would be to shut down the webserver and unregister the domain. Hope this helps.Wanting to censor an aggregate AI news site is so telling of your actual agenda. You're not fooling anyone in this forum with your weak little brigade bots. Your pro-establishment, elitist agenda will fail. Corporate and government elites are losing power as a result of people finally waking up, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. You'll kick and scream the whole way down, but your loss is inevitable as a result of the will of the people.
We don't censor our site actually.
Their comments are very probably AI generated too, for astroturfing reasons.
They will prime the pump with inflammatory comment to push you to react and you will end up working for them with your comments.
Wait till you see the one about Biden's granddaughter
and two neutral sources
Problem is, who is it who decides if a source is “neutral”?
We characterize our sources with allsidesmedia.com to stay consistent. https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news
