Very good point.
I realise now that my messaging with this project is off.
What would more accurately explain the purpose of this project is to reduce the effects of sensationalism and indoctrination in the news.
In other words, provide a platform for readers to make up their own opinions on news stories by filtering out the excessive positive/negative language.
Even if NewsNotFound articles are only 90% neutral, that's 90% BETTER than reading the same story from a sensationalist source.
- Loquebantur 3y agoIf I understand correctly, you want to help people get an objective baseline of information about the world, they then can compare their individual bias against. Only thing is, I don't think most people care about that. Humans provide their sentiment about developments to further their individual interests. Other people want to be informed about those motivations. Taking that away makes news subjectively meaningless for most. There is a minority of truth-seekers who essentially individually engage in OSINT activity (if only by consuming more than one source). An AI "doing the thinking for them" isn't the right way though (trust is an issue, remember). You want to teach people, how to be an intelligence analyst and give them the tools to avoid the drudgery.
