I noticed some bias because I only analyze sources in English. It should be easy to make ChatGPT also read news in other languages, maybe that will help. Is that what you meant?

It also seems to be very US-centric and seems to put a strong focus on reporting on the economy. I personally found nothing particularly relevant to my existence featured on the site.

These two biases are probably indicative of a host of other, less obvious biases. To be clear: all media is biased, because it is created by biased humans and it has been well demonstrated that algorithms replicate the biases of their creators.

A good newspaper/website knows their audience and delivers reporting relevant to it in a language they appreciate and cognizant of its societal impact.

The recent one is economic focused, but if you look back it does focus on other stuff like Starship launch, climate, health, geopolitics, energy etc.

This should indeed be easy, and given how good it is at translation, very interesting - taking too news sources and national broadcast services; rate as you do now - filter the top, summarize in English, store and dedup on similarity vector - it would be great. For example i don't read any Chinese or African news sources - but it would be great to have them in the mix.

Might even index on similarity first then ask for a summary on all different reports on the same story?
