I do
Why?
It’s funny seeing Apollo and spez_ fighting on a topic regarding ChatGPT.
Natural enemies must fight
Because ChatGPT doesn’t do clickbait headlines or have auto-play video ads, auto play video news that follows me if I try to scroll past it, or a house ad that tries to convince me to stop reading the news and instead read a puff piece about how to clean my water bottle. Which I’d bet fifty bucks will result in me seeing ads for new water bottles every day for the next month. No thanks.
With the “Web Browsing” plugin, which essentially does a Bing search then summarises the result, ChatGPT is a far better experience if you want to find out what’s going on in Israel today for example.
Neither does lemmy, here (and in other instances) there’s plenty of communities for news, and with better control of misinformation.
Reuters is pretty good. No autoplay vids, only 1-2 quiet ads an article, and is mainly cut-and-dry news.
No news source is 100% reliable, but I can easily see AI picking up bad information or misinterpreting human text. Nothing wrong with AI news by itself, but it’s a good habit to verify any source by yourself.
Regardless I recommend UBlock for any device or browser. Ads are over the line nowadays so I don’t feel bad blocking them when possible.
