Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Most of the curation or fine tuning is done in low income African countries so this is little surprising. They‘re cheap labour but you can‘t expect them to reliably detect sarcasm or notice mistakes in specialized fields. They basically give a thumbs up whenever the AI sounds convincing. Of course that includes instances where it‘s confidently wrong and that appears to be most of the time with this model.
