>“Today ChatGPT read 1289 top news and gave 13 of them a significance score over 6/10.”
Is an excellent hook.
I wish there was more of a basis on the score it chose. For example:
>“Russia suffers 100,000 casualties in Ukraine conflict, US estimates.” is #2 and ranked 6.8
>“White House estimates Russia has suffered 100,000 casualties in Ukraine since December.” is #237 and ranked 3.8.
100,000 dead Russians, is very likely the propaganda number. Maybes it’s right; maybe it’s not, IDK, but I know that there has been zero negative Ukraine news since the conflict started (ghost of Kiev anyone?), and the media machine definitely only works one way on this topic.
I mean, Russia isn’t the good guy here, but I don’t excuse propaganda just because it tells a story I want to hear.
In this case, I don’t care what the US or Ukraine says the number is. That isn’t news. It’s narrative, true or not.
So, I feel like the score should take into account if how likely an article is to be narrative vs purely an event.
