AI is the most accessible way to do a deep dive to investigate a story. AI systems provide a range of references to related work, both alternative current sources and historical context sources.

- staticman2 3mo agoHow is it the most accessible way when stories are paywalled? What good is a "range of references" if the higher quality references are not accessible to the AI? You also claim readers want "want headlines and bias confirmation" but AI is very well known to engage in sycophancy.
