Actual news articles misrepresent reality more often than 45%.

Some very recent discussions on HN:

How exactly did you arrive at that conclusion? What in your examples is proof of that “more than 45%” statement? I’m not seeing it.

But even if we concede that to be true, it doesn’t change the fact that LLMs are misrepresenting the text they’ve been given half the time. Which means the information is degraded further. Which is worse.

I guess I don’t exactly understand the point you’re trying to make.
