A recent Reddit thread ([https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1n3wf8o/would_you_trust_an_aiwritten_news_site_if_every/]), initiated by user /u/Queasy_System9168, sparks debate about the potential for AI-driven news platforms to gain credibility. The user proposes a model where every claim made by the AI is rigorously supported by citations from reputable news agencies such as Reuters, AP, and CNN. Furthermore, the suggestion includes a ‘compare coverage’ feature, allowing users to examine how different news outlets have reported on the same events. The core question raised is whether relying on AI to select sources merely transfers the burden of trust to the AI’s algorithm, or if the implementation of an independent fact-checking system could effectively address concerns about bias and accuracy.
