This was a shameful example of bullying and opinion dressed up as #journalism by #60Minutes hack Liam Bartlett.

A 16:9 split graphic. On the left, colorful icons representing ideas, messages, and code flow into a metal funnel and come out as gray, lumpy sludge in a tray. On the right, a parody “AI Content Nutrition Facts” label lists “Engagement 200%,” “Truth 40%,” “Originality 15%,” and “Human Connection 5%,” with notes like “Artificially flavored” and “May contain misinformation.”
AI is not our friend. It was supposed to help. Instead, it’s degrading social media, content, software, customer experience, and trust.

"In contrast, a weak but statistically significant positive correlation was observed in the no-wearable condition (𝑟 = 0.19, 𝑝 = 0.025).

Table 2. The list of 2 video clips used in the study, with 8 fact-check verdicts and explanations per video. Because all participants encountered both videos and all claims, the number of total observations could be over 1000, depending on the analysis.
Qualitative data about potential for self-reflection and over-reliance.
Can #wearables do real-time fact-checking?
34 people watched videos with and without a #factChecking #smartwatch. The watch's alerts reduced belief in #misinformation and increased manual fact-checking.
Some users said alerts made them "reflect more".
