Entirely Automated AI Powered News Site

For the last few months our team has been working on an entirely automated AI-powered news site. I am excited to announce that v1.0 is finally being released. This version includes full coverage with every article generated from 2 left leaning, 2 right leaning, and 2 neutral sources. We have also added an anonymous commenting system for people to share their opinions freely. Our servers are now running 24/7 so that new articles appear as they happen! Let me know what you guys think, as well as any comments/concerns/questions you have!

You posted this exact post to artificial_intel twice, to science twice, and you deleted the programmerhumor post that I criticized. The contact email on the site is just a random Gmail account.

But despite the spammy self-advertising you've been generating, I know there's a human, not a bot, behind this site. And we need that human to read and deeply, truly understand what I'm saying.

This is a bad idea. It is a fallacy to think that you can remove bias by balancing your sources with Morally Bankrupt outfits. Climate change is real, there is no reason whatsoever to include a right-wing climate denial stance. What will you do if people (or bots) demand that a right-wing article be marked as left leaning so they can skew the bias even further right? Who do I contact if the article needs retractions? What do you do if the AI commits libel or slander?

Also, the comments. There is good reason news sites do NOT allow anonymous, account-less comments on articles. I could spam biased, hateful, fake news comments there all damn day. And I don't believe for a minute an AI-only news somehow has human moderation on those comments.

Stop the site. Talk to real journalists. Find out the real problems. And find a way to solve those, regardless if the solution is AI or not.
