> The headline should use completely neutral and unbiased language. Aim to be factual, not opinionated.

This sounds incredibly dull and lifeless. If you’re writing an encyclopedia, it’s fine. If you’re looking to be acquihired by Bloomberg Wire, it’s fine.

But, modern chatbot aren’t capable of adhering to the restriction “factual”, and will hallucinate information just as readily as a human witness might during an interview. A few paragraphs of instruction don’t change the basic nature of multi-layer network synthesis. For that, you need a rigorous training and a network of peers ready to check you when you are led astray by your basic nature — and that requires having multiple viewpoints to mitigate groupthink.

I mean no disrespect, but I hope this project fails.




"Neutral" language isn't even necessarily unbiased. "Leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler committed horrible and evil actions" isn't "neutral" but it is a statement of clear objective fact.

It's the same reason why passive voice writing such as "police-involved shooting" are problematic and biased.
