Entirely Automated AI-Powered Balanced News Site*
(media.kbin.social)
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!

There's absolutely nothing to say. The entire premise of the project is beyond reprehensible. It's not gathering facts, investigating leads, following trails, or earning any of the knowledge.
It's scraping the work real journalists have done, repackaging it, and presenting a bastardized version of it.
The project adds absolutely no value to the world and, if adopted by any publications morally bankrupt enough to do so, will put real journalists out of work.
And then who's work will it scrape?
The purpose of the site is not to replace journalists, rather aggregate information so that readers can see everyone's opinion without individually looking at each source.
Your naïvety is matched only by your hubris.
Also, you can go almost literally anywhere on the internet and get a mix of news from various sources with various biases and levels of credibility.
If one news source is saying it's raining and the other says it's not, it's the job of the journalists to go outside and fucking find out. Aggregating the reporting down to 'It might be raining' doesn't help anyone.
Please do something different with your life because what you're doing now is not only pointless but actively detrimental to society.
