I'm sharing Fair Witness Bot with HN first because this community understands both the technical and philosophical dimensions of AI. The framework needs people who can critique its assumptions and help evolve the implementation. If you've been thinking about epistemology in AI or are just tired of LLM hallucinations, I'd appreciate your perspectives on whether this approach could become a community standard.

The framework idea and yaml prompt was developed with the assistance of Kagi Assistant and Claude Sonnet 3.7 (Thinking),

The site was vibe coded with Windsurf Cascade and Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Thinking).

I've been interested in the idea of E-Prime (e.g. write a classifier that can tell if a text is in E-Prime, something that rewrites text in E-Prime, etc.) Eventually I lost interest because you can write just as bad E-Prime as you can in English.

For instance, sci-fi writer Charlie Stross wrote "Keir Starmer is a fascist" which is a clear abuse of "to be" but you can stuff adjectives just fine in E-Prime: "Fascist Keir Starmer never stops pushing fascist policies with his fascist attitudes and fascist friends." You could make the case that E-Prime frequently improves on English but some constructions become terribly tortured.
