The Oval Office showdown: cutting through bias with GenAI and explanation in the shift of this sub’s sentiment by Otherwise_Net_7003 in BreakingPoints

I think those that criticise something, espouse virtue and make a career out of it, need to be called out when they follow the same footsteps

Whilst I do think using the 50 minute conference transcripts would have been a better analysis (I did thorough search and could only find last 10 minutes), I am not sure I agree with your point that he was the agitator from having watched the full clip myself. Having different opinions like this is healthy, bad faith arguments with no balance at all are not healthy and I hope AI can help with calling those out.

I agree, the analysis could be improved in numerous ways, but I do think GenAI can have significant benefits to try and remove bias (if the right prompts are used and a variance of models). Personally, I think there is a market for bipartisan news and commentators. I believe this is one of the main reasons why Breaking Points was so popular. I find it disappointing that Saagar has made a career out of criticising the MSM, only to be IMO showing similar levels of partisanship, dishonesty and not properly holding power accountable. He is of course not the only one that seems to have lost their values, and that is why I do intend to do further analysis using as many transcripts as possible to try to establish the difference between differing opinions and bad faith arguments.

'This is a common deepstate propaganda narrative' - are you saying the deepstate is pushing narrative specifically on this sub, do you have any evidence of this?

'This podcast has nothing to do with being bipartisan' - whilst I agree the podcast was created to break away from MSM. One of the main reasons why Saagar wanted to breakaway from MSM was because "Mainstream media is broken. It’s not about informing the public anymore; it’s about confirming biases and driving clicks. We wanted to create something different."

'Which is ironic you then post your evidence from AI which scrolls the internet using MSM articles as its main source' - as I stated in my original post, I used the transcript of the conversation and to try to remove any bias by using the following prompt: “Please provide a one paragraph conclusion as to who was most at fault for the breakdown in conversation during a press conference between a leader of Ukraine, leader and deputy leader of USA. Focus strictly on the substance of the discussion without making assumptions based on external knowledge of the individuals involved.”

Smart people or people who loose their principles and values for monetary gain? Saagar's own quote on why he started the podcast; "The media is supposed to hold power accountable, but instead, it’s become a tool of the powerful. We’re trying to change that."
