Summarizing information without critical analysis is certainly not journalism. I’m glad the blog post mentions this, but I’m not convinced the conclusion is accurate.

I’m not sure this project addresses the root cause of the problem, which is the current funding model for news. Regurgitating information without analysis exacerbates the issue.

This article, https://agentictribune.com/article/20250423-openai-introduce..., reads like a summarized press release. Maybe using deep research type loop to do critical analysis would be better, idk.

I do want it to add context and analysis, not just a regurgitation. I think I can improve on that with some tweaking, but I think some of the articles do better than others on that front too.

There's new information posted on the internet everyday though. Press releases, earnings results, new legislation or supreme court decisions, sports scores/results, new technologies and discoveries. The original "thing that happens" isn't produced by bots.

> original, fact-based reporting

> The goal was neutral, factual reporting, grounded in real-world sources: government releases, legal rulings, financial reports, etc. No persuasion, just clean summaries of what actually happened.

Why would you create a news site when you so completely misunderstand what journalism is?

Seriously, my dude: journalism is going after the truth. Merely promoting what other parties are saying about themselves is not news. You’re just using AI to create PR puff pieces.

I did want to be careful not to claim that this is journalism. I think journalism is only one part of reporting the news.

If this can gather relevant/related facts about key events, it could still be helpful in understanding what's going on in the world?
