And yet, after trying it, I have to admit it's more informative and less provocative than any other news source I've seen since at least 2005.
I don't know how they do it, and I'm not sure I care, the result is they've eliminated both clickbait and ragebait, and the news are indeed better off for it!
- input_sh 1y agoSoulless, uncreative, not fact-checked (or read by anyone before clicking publish), not contributing anything back to the original journalists, all of the editorial decisions are done by an undeterministic AI filter. Not gonna call it the worst insult to journalism I've ever seen because I've seen factually(.)so which does essentially the same thing but calls it an "AI fact check", but it's not much better. It's like instead of borrowing a book from the library, there's like a spokesperson at the entrance who you ask a question and then blindly believe whatever they say.
- amarant 1y ago>soulless,uncreative This is exactly how I want my news to be. Nothing worse than a headline about a new vaccine breakthrough, followed by a first paragraph that starts with "it was a cold November morning as I arrived in..." I guess it's a matter of taste, but I prefer it short and to the point
