If you take biased news sources controlled or strongly influenced by corporate/government entities X Y and Z, and de-sensationalize them, you'll still get biased sources controlled or influenced by X Y and Z. Just saying.

#283"Sensationalism" is not a bug. It's an essential aspect of useful news. Those of you who think it isn't... let me guess... You didn't major in sociology, anthropology, or psychology? Those of you who respect sociology/anthropology/psychology and yet still think that "sensationalism" (presented in quotes because that is a socially-constructed, loaded term) is something that distracts you from real news, I'd like to he…
Seems to me it’s just a hyperbolic arms race in a pretty naked attempt to generate clicks at all costs. I am quite content to figure out how the news effects me without breathless editorializing in the title.

#284I've played with a variation of this called "Unbiased News". The prompt asks to rewrite the article in an unbiased way and to also expose biases in the article. It feels 'good' to use. Demo here: https://twitter.com/vladquant/status/1647042056139968512 Code and prompt here: https://github.com/OrionBrowser/ProgrammableButtons
"Unbias" doesn't exist.
I will settle for news that isn’t clumsily trying to provoke an emotional response.

What would be an example of a headline that you think people would label Sensationalist but that you would describe as "helping you understand the relevance of recent events to your life." ?

#286Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hey, other dev on this project. This is a good catch, and we're aware of this issue. What it's doing is actually using a photo caption as part of the article, and we're working on removing the use of that in the summarization process.
Maybe image search and if the image is not novel, ignore it?
Good point (it seems to me), and if it's AI generated, (try to) ignore it too I guess

#287Crypto is no longer cryptography but digital currencies.
AI is no longer artificial intelligence but algorithms and text generators.

that's a glorious way of saying "UIs with outputs from static prompts to GPT"
