Anything other than 0% is borderline immoral. Imagine sending a push notification to somebody's phone with a completely made-up headline summary. Even if it happens once in a hundred times, that's too much. Things like that slowly but surely erode trust and make it harder and harder to trust anything that's generated by AI, especially when it comes to news, where trustworthiness is essential, and probably the main reason people pay for news. See for example https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cge93de21n0o

This is a ridiculous standard. News headlines at the moment would have an error rate wildly above 1.3%. The articles about Apple having trouble with LLM headlines is that the on-device model is weak and it's trying to compress too much into too few characters. I'd guess the chance of Gemini incorrectly summarising an article to be almost 0%.

Have you ever read a news article on a subject where you have expertise and knew it was inaccurate? The news is probably more inaccurate than you think.

I bet you think the news is accurate all other times. It’s called “Gell-Mann Amnesia”
