Research 26/09/2023 - Darragh

 

The role I have been assigned to in the group is that I am one of two video editors and prototypers but I also am responsible of doing my own independent research into our project brief. 


Its hard to know what is right and wrong nowadays on various different news sites as a lot of misinformation and propaganda is being spread via AI. Upon reading the article "https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/may/08/ai-generated-news-websites-study" I found that this study shows that nearly 50 popular news sites are using AI which is leading to the spread of misinformation. A lot of these websites are going to Chat GPT to get their information on different stories but as we all know GPT isn't always accurate. 

Some of the websites that this article mentions as using AI to generate their articles include:

celebritiesdeaths.com

ScoopEarth.com

Famadillo.com


We plan on creating an app/website that uses AI to help you find honest and accurate articles written by credible sources based on your interests.

Some credible sources that I have found according to "Forbes" include:

The New York Times

The Wall Street Journal

The Washington Post

BBC

The Economist

The New Yorker

The Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg News

Foreign Affairs

The Atlantic

Politico


I think BBC has a very nice and easy user interface as it allows you to select what news you see based on the topic you are interested in within their website. The white and red comes together nicely and is easy on the eye.

The Wall Street Journal also is very easy for users as it also allows you to select what news you see based on set topics but the overall design of the website is a bit boring and old fashioned.

In-Class notes, 24th Oct - Research and Prototyping - Cian

  Notes from Phil’s Class on research and prototyping:     RESEARCH:   Research presentation on the 7 th November, worth 30% of final mark!     5 minute presentation, 5 min Q and A.     S lide format is important:   Title   Overview   Aims   Background   Objectives   --All the above within approx 1 min 30 sec   RESEARCH   --Research is the bulk of the presentation.   Next Step   --1 or 2 slides outlining our prototyping plan     Practise, Practise, Practise!! Make sure our timing is consistent.   Avoid using templates for the slides, present information clearly and concisely.     Have backups! Multiple USBs with the PowerPoint would be ideal.     AI should only be PART of the solution.       PROTOTYPING:     Allows us to fail safely, and quickly. Reach a solution faster.     What is it for? - Aim   Who is it for? ...
