YSK News aggregators are using AI summaries with limited editorial oversight
I'm going to keep this vague without naming organizations so that I can't be accused of shilling. There are some new-ish news agregators aggressively marketing themselves in recent months and many if not all of them use AI to summarize articles. You shouldn't be getting your information from any aggregator alone. They are only a worthwhile tool but only if you are actually following through to the source articles.
**Why YSK**: These AI summaries are prone to hallucinating and making things up just the same as any other AI. If you can't trust the Google AI summaries you definitely shouldn't be trusting some news aggregation startup funded by venture capital and built on a foundation of AI tools.
