Completely Automated, AI-Powered Newsletter: Top Headlines in Politics, Events, Technology, and Business

Hello Everyone!

I'm excited to announce my newest project - an entirely automated Top Headlines Newsletter, powered by GPT-4. Top news that is picked and written entirely by AI is delivered to your inbox every morning at 9 AM PST.

Our system is** fully automated**, taking care of everything from selecting topics to sending the newsletter. This means that if I were to die today, you would still receive a newsletter every morning.

Our newsletter is integrated with our site, and all stories use 2 left, 2 center, and 2 right wing sources (characterized by AllSidesMedia).

I truly think that AI can revolutionize how we consume news, from mitigating polarization, stopping misinformation spread, and minimizing bias. Please let me know your opinions below!

Automated machine generated misinformation spam? Sign me right up! /s

No. You're just creating all new misinformation and muddying the waters.

From your bio:

Drawing equal amounts of information from left, right, and center sources in each story, we aim to counteract political bias and polarization.

You cannot average nonsense and fact and expect the end result to be anything useful. You simply cannot. Your entire premise is flawed and quite honestly, reprehensible.

LLMs and News should not be mixed. You're making the world a worse place. Please stop.

@ptz

Thanks for your feedback, to clarify a few things

You cannot average nonsense and fact and expect the end result to be anything useful.

We are not averaging information. We are cross referencing facts, stating what sources on different ends of the political spectrum agree on, and the differences in the opinions they have.

I would also like to here why you think it is misinformation spam.

You're not creating any new information. You're bastardizing the work of others with a system that is designed to generate human sounding text. Emphasis on "sounding". It has no idea what it's crapping out, just that it's syntactically correct and "sounds right".

The fact that it's not fact checked and just set loose is even worse.

You 👏 are 👏 making 👏 the 👏 world 👏 worse. Please stop.

I can address the spam angle anyway - you have hammered the same post out nearly a dozen times, including: five times in two minutes and twice into the same community.

That raises a lot of red flags.
