Yes I find this very intriguing.
Fair enough. Why?
I'm not the OG commenter, but for me this is important because I see how gpt is replacing search, I can imagine they will play an increasing role in news. Which has two sides. One is the fact that people will read news summaries dinner by a system with a bias. Second is writing of the news with the same bias.
We've seen this before. Machine learning systems that were trained on past human decisions also learned biases from those decisions. Court ruling suggestions stronger for black than white. Job applicant analysis favouring men over women. Etc.
There's a good book about that, if you're interested: "Weapons of Math Destruction" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Math_Destruction
I'll have to read that thanks :)
