it's a major news story https://abc7ny.com/russell-heller-nj-councilman-shot-shootin...

Yeah I know Newsbusters is garbage but that's kind of irrelevant, that was just one of many stories I fed it. The point is it straight up lied.

I thought your point was that it lied because of censorship? And I don't see that. Did you try asking it a neutral question, like "Explain the murder of Russell D. Heller"? Again, the fact that you went straight to that NewsBusters thing tells me you were clearly trying to get it to say something partisan, something you know damn well it's going to try to evade.

But that's the same "censorship" you've been living with for decades. It's not something new with AI at all. Microsoft doesn't want to give you what you want, and the failure mode is just different with AI than it is with traditional search.

No, I had an idea for using it to summarize news articles including an "objectivity bias" rating. I'm still playing with it but I'm not sure it's going to work because of it's tendency to avoid things it's programmed to avoid.
