News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

That's exactly what I was thinking. A human doesn't accidentally cite multiple made up studies. So these fuckers are writing government policy by saying "Hey ChatCPT, write a scientific paper with citations about how vaccines are bad."
Yeah, humans will cite real studies that don’t say what they claim (either from malice or misunderstanding) or just vaguely say ‘studies say’, not pull an entire citation out of the air.
I’m leaning towards making it illegal to use AI (generative LLM) in government work. All it can do is mislead and introduce errors.
Good luck with that. Administration not being allowed to cheat on their homework is a pipe dream at this point.
this administration
My friend, you are going to hate a recent memo from the US Office of Management and Budget titled “Advancing Governance, Innovation, and Risk Management for Agency Use of Artificial Intelligence”
Absolutely correct, I do hate it! 🫠
And 70% of people will never check to see if those sources are legit. Kinda like how most people just read the headlines.
More like 99.9%
Not checking is one thing, but seeing so many people actually dismissing when someone calls out the factual errors is so infuriating. Like not only you are an ignorant dumbfuck who doesn't bother checking the evidence, but you are stupid too and criticize people who point out the glaring flaws and cry out cancel culture. Or, of course, you are an awful person who doesn't care about the truth as long as you get your way.
ChatCCP, ChatUSA, Chat$Trump, TruthChat... What will they come up with next!
a human might not, but worms will.
