#2Imagine you could see into the minds of news reporters - their intentions, thought processes, and emotions when writing articles.
This would allow us to hold reporters accountable for bias, misinformation, and sensationalism.
Now imagine we could also dictate and control these thought processes and intentions, so as to ensure they aren't aligned with any particular viewpoint or political agenda.
Unfortunately, this isn't possible in humans (yet).
NewsNotFound proposes a solution to this problem, by removing the human middle-man between you and the news.
With open-sourced code, anyone can now see exactly what goes on behind the scenes of article creation.
This is the key to a trusted news company - complete transparency and the opportunity for anyone, anywhere to contribute.

A bit of an obscure reference for the anglocentric crowd, but Night Guard’s news in the Twilight World is exactly what your lede is imagining.

#4Their agenda is evident in their claim that AI is unbiased.
It's hard to believe that someone who works with AI to this degree would think for a moment that it is unbiased. It's an attempt to deceive the ignorant, for whatever purpose.

In addition to the completely unfounded and false claim that AI is unbiased, there's this:

Why do I want anyone, anywhere? What does that have to do with news? I want to hear from the best, not from the entire range.

#7> The headline should use completely neutral and unbiased language. Aim to be factual, not opinionated.
This sounds incredibly dull and lifeless. If you’re writing an encyclopedia, it’s fine. If you’re looking to be acquihired by Bloomberg Wire, it’s fine.
But, modern chatbot aren’t capable of adhering to the restriction “factual”, and will hallucinate information just as readily as a human witness might during an interview. A few paragraphs of instruction don’t change the basic nature of multi-layer network synthesis. For that, you need a rigorous training and a network of peers ready to check you when you are led astray by your basic nature — and that requires having multiple viewpoints to mitigate groupthink.
I mean no disrespect, but I hope this project fails.

Haven't you heard? The era of expertise is over! Anyone's opinion is exactly as valuable as anyone else's - in fact, the opinion of someone who is not an expert is _more_ valuable than that of an expert!

#9"By replacing the human middle-man with our AI-centric article creation process, we eliminate the potential for bias and ensure that all coverage remains impartial."
AI LLMs inherit biases from their training data and the constraints the model builders added. There's no such thing as unbiased reporting; the usual way that this is attempted is to claim that the "unbiased" position is halfway between the positions of the two dominant political parties in some country, which might look like intense bias to someone in another country.

Who defines the best? Who defines unbiased?
It all comes down to who you trust.
