    This is genuinely harmful. LLMs will hallucinate, which means that using them as a substitute for reading the news will result in the spread of misinformation. And in an era where we see just how dangerous misinformation can be, I beg you to please not do this.

    “95% accurate” means 5% lies, which is 5% too many.

    • I’m using an LLM architecture that’s better suited to summarisation meaning it won’t invent false facts like traditional gpts do. The worse errors it has made are a couple cases of missattribution of actions that are easily spotted from within the context of the whole summary.

      The ai has no more misinformation than a human journalist. It is not biass in its summary. It does not assert falsehoods in malice. I have been accused of spreading misinformation for many articles and yes the bot is saying misinformation but that is the misinformation stated in the original human authored article. It is not my bots job to pass judgement but simply to make ur ability to do so easyer.

        What architecture is that? If you have an LLM that doesn’t hallucinate, there will surely have been papers written about the breakthrough.

        And that dear reader was when the work of foolishness became something much more sinister.

        Humans, and trust in humans, are important. The internet divorced the human face and the accumulation of trust from the news, which has allowed engineered alternative facts to enter the mainstream consciousness, which might be the single biggest harmful development in a modern age which has no shortage of them. I am not trying to tell you that your summarizer project is automatically responsible for that. But be cautious about what future you’re constructing.
