I’d rather have ChatGPT know about news content than not. I appreciate the convenience. The news shouldn’t have barriers.
But ChatGPT often takes correct and factual sources and adds a whole bunch of nonsense and then spits out false information. That’s why it’s dangerous. Just go to the fucking news websites and get your information from there. You don’t need ChatGPT for that.
So they have automated Fox then.
Yeah, pretty much.
You just described news
Who get their news from chatgpt lol
You don’t get your news from it but building tools can be useful. Scrapping news websites to measure different articles for thinga like semantic analysis or identify media tricks that manipulate readers is a fun practice. You can use llm to identify propaganda much easier. I can get why media would be scared that regular people can run these tools on their propaganda machine easily.
I do
Why?
It’s funny seeing Apollo and spez_ fighting on a topic regarding ChatGPT.
Natural enemies must fight
Because ChatGPT doesn’t do clickbait headlines or have auto-play video ads, auto play video news that follows me if I try to scroll past it, or a house ad that tries to convince me to stop reading the news and instead read a puff piece about how to clean my water bottle. Which I’d bet fifty bucks will result in me seeing ads for new water bottles every day for the next month. No thanks.
With the “Web Browsing” plugin, which essentially does a Bing search then summarises the result, ChatGPT is a far better experience if you want to find out what’s going on in Israel today for example.
Neither does lemmy, here (and in other instances) there’s plenty of communities for news, and with better control of misinformation.
Reuters is pretty good. No autoplay vids, only 1-2 quiet ads an article, and is mainly cut-and-dry news.
No news source is 100% reliable, but I can easily see AI picking up bad information or misinterpreting human text. Nothing wrong with AI news by itself, but it’s a good habit to verify any source by yourself.
