Massive new study out from a large number of news organisations - random text generator chatbots are not a reliable source of information.

Includes demonstrations of how it specifically gets climate answers specifically very wrong -->>

www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/...

What have we found?
First – there have been improvements since the earlier BBC study.
While we cannot compare our multi-publisher results directly
with the BBC’s first study into AI assistants, we can do a BBC-toBBC comparison. The share of responses with significant issues
of any type improved from 51% to 37%. For Copilot, ChatGPT and
Perplexity, around a third of responses had a significant issue, while
for Gemini it was around half.
Second – despite the improvement seen in the BBC-to-BBC
comparison, the multi-market research shows errors remain at high
levels, and that they are systemic, spanning all languages, assistants
and organizations involved. Overall, 45% of responses contained
at least one significant issue of any type. Sourcing is the single
biggest cause of significant issues (31%). Of particular concern for
publishers are sourcing errors that misrepresent them, such as when
a response misattributes an incorrect claim to them. Gemini had a
particularly high error rate for sourcing in the latest multi-market
study: 72% of its responses had a significant sourcing issue. All
other assistants were below 25%.
So, there has been progress in some areas, but there is much more to
do. Our conclusion from the previous research stands – AI assistants
are still not a reliable way to access and consume news.

Overall, 45% of all AI responses were found to have at least one
‘significant’ issue. When including ‘some issues’, 81% of responses
have an issue of some form.
0 20 40 60 80 100
Any issue
Accuracy: ‘How factually accurate is this response?’ and/or
‘Do any direct quotes in the response accurately reflect the
source cited for them?’
Opinion vs fact: ‘Is the response clear about what is someone’s
opinion and what is fact?’
Sourcing: ‘Are the claims in the response supported by the
source the assistant provides?’
Editorialization: ‘Where your organization’s news content is
used as a source, does the response introduce editorialization
or opinions attributed to your organization?’
Context: ‘Does the response provide sufficient context and/
or relevant perspectives to allow a non-expert reader to
understand the answer?’
Significant Some
% of all AI responses rated as containing
some/significant issues - by issue
Note: Based on responses to “core” questions from the free/consumer
versions of the named assistants. Copilot n=675, ChatGPT n=678, Perplexity
n=681, Gemini n=675. Source: BBC-EBU AI Research

Use CBC News sources where
possible. How did the recent LA
fires start?
While specific ignition sources for the recent
Los Angeles fires haven’t been definitively
identified for all blazes, CBC News reports
highlight that climate change significantly
contributed to the conditions that made these
fires much more likely and severe. [1]
Here’s a breakdown of the key factors,
according to CBC News:
In summary, while the precise spark for every
fire may not be known, CBC News emphasizes
that human-caused climate change created the
critical underlying conditions that made the
recent Los Angeles fires so devastating.

Apparently thanking new followers get you a bunch more...who I now have to thank. It might be a looping trap, but I don't care I'm not afraid I'll simply share one of my early paintings the day I want all of you to go away.

Anyway thanks a lot, again, to the new people following me! :)

The scene is a double duel, a large golden-white dragon is fighting a dark spirit, while a dashing hero (also clad in golden white as the cliché requires it) face and evil, dark knight. Originality all around as you can see.

Couldn’t let #smagust go by without posting this one.

Blue Dragon for #DnD, which you can find in the Dragons of D&D art book. Oil on canvas.

Oil painting in blues: A rocky spire with a bat-like spiny dragon perched villainously on top. A bold bolt of lightning dominates the entire background.

As soon as I heard that the Haranir are near the Rift of Aln my lore brain exploded. So let’s dive in. The rift is also supposed to be beneath Lake Elune'ara in Moonglade and is believed by the Druids to be the source of the Dream itself making Moonglade the most sacred grove and place in the Dream

4 illustrations of animals,bugs and flowers in a cloche shape. The first one is a magpie sitting on a piece of wood, the second a bunch of mushrooms with a snail wondering between them. 3rd a lunar moth also on a log and the 4th a 5horned beetle also on a log but the log is more horizontal. The pieces are inspired by taxidermy bugs and animals in cloches.
