Still have to figure a measurement unit.
- anon25783 3y agoHow about "falsehood quotient"? Count the number of counterfactual assertions in a given text, then divide by the number of sentences. Of course, the question of what is a falsehood is an exercise for the reader, but this would at least give a unit of measurement, flawed as it is.
- janalsncm 3y agoThe “exercise for the reader” in this case is the entire point of the metric. If it were possible to do at scale it could be incorporated into existing models right now. Second, it isn’t even necessarily better to have fewer lies if those few lies are more subtle. Plenty of propaganda works by twisting facts and using misleading statements. Perhaps the worst offenders won’t even have any outright falsehoods at all.
- ddmma 3y agothat is very interesting input, thanks! Also split into sentences, similar to what sentiment analytics does would raise the level of complexity into the output metric.
