I asked ChatGTP their opinion about this. This is their reply. Not my opinion. So perhaps you would like to argue with it:- "The BBC has rigorous processes in place to verify content before publication. As a reputable news organization, the BBC is committed to upholding journalistic standards and maintaining accuracy and credibility in its reporting. Here are some key aspects of the BBC's content verification process: Editorial Guidelines: The BBC has a comprehensive set of Editorial Guidelines that all its journalists and content producers must follow. These guidelines provide clear instructions on the principles of accuracy, fairness, impartiality, and accountability in reporting. They outline the processes and standards for verifying information before it is published or broadcast. Fact-Checking and Verification: BBC journalists are responsible for fact-checking and verifying the accuracy of the information they report. This involves cross-referencing multiple sources, confirming facts with reliable sources, and seeking corroboration to ensure the information is accurate and reliable. Source Evaluation: The BBC is careful in evaluating the credibility and reliability of sources before using their information. Journalists are encouraged to use authoritative and independent sources, and they consider the reputation, expertise, and potential biases of sources when determining their reliability. Independent Editorial Oversight: The BBC has an independent body called the BBC Editorial Guidelines to ensure the organization's adherence to its editorial standards. This body, composed of experienced professionals, monitors and reviews BBC's content to ensure compliance with the guidelines and address any concerns or complaints from the audience. Training and Professional Development: The BBC invests in training and professional development programs for its journalists and staff to enhance their skills in content verification and fact-checking. This includes providing guidance on identifying and avoiding misinformation, using credible sources, and maintaining high standards of accuracy in reporting. While the BBC strives for accuracy, it is important to note that errors can still occur, as with any news organization. When mistakes happen, the BBC is committed to promptly correcting them and providing transparent explanations to maintain trust with its audience." Computer says no! 'Artificial Intelligence' - the clue is in the name.

Ask it what it "thinks" about the content of dramas, sitcoms, soaps, panel shows, etc.

I don't know what question Wisbelch asked ChatGTP. I asked it 'is BBC news biased': Its answer can be summarised as 'It can be' and that you should consult multiple sources, compare coverage, and critically analyse the information presented. If you ask the same question about any other news broadcaster or newspaper it more or less says the same thing!

If you ask the same question about any other news broadcaster or newspaper it more or less says the same thing! I asked "Does the BBC verify content before publication". I asked it your, quite loaded, question. This is the response, in full:- "The question of bias in news organizations, including the BBC, is a topic of debate and subjective interpretation. Bias can manifest in various forms, including political, ideological, or cultural biases. It is important to evaluate news sources critically and consider multiple perspectives when forming opinions. Regarding the BBC, it is generally recognized as a reputable and trusted news organization that strives to maintain impartiality and provide balanced reporting. The BBC's Editorial Guidelines explicitly state the commitment to impartiality and require its journalists to present a range of perspectives on contentious issues. However, it is worth noting that bias can be subjective, and perceptions of bias can vary among individuals or groups with different political or ideological viewpoints. Some critics argue that the BBC's reporting can be influenced by institutional or systemic biases, while others argue that it maintains a relatively impartial stance compared to other news outlets. It is always a good practice to consume news from multiple sources, including those with different perspectives, to get a more comprehensive understanding of events and issues. This allows for a more informed and balanced view of the news landscape. Additionally, being aware of one's own biases and actively seeking out diverse viewpoints can contribute to a more nuanced understanding of complex topics. Ultimately, it is up to individuals to critically analyze news content, evaluate the credibility of sources, and form their own judgments about the presence or absence of bias in news reporting, including that of the BBC." Your own "summary", excluding every specific about the BBC, is a clear indication of your own subjective bias and says nothing at all about the BBC.

However, I can provide some general observations about the content of BBC dramas, sitcoms, soaps, and panel shows." Would you like the "general observations? They are equally predictable!

Dear all, will you click the bottom left 'alert a moderator' button whenever you see Wisbech trolling a thread with ten or twenty comments that are totally unrelated to the topic of the thread. Writing rambling shyte - and making HOL boring and tedious to read. thanks,
Wisbech....there is a bbc thread on here....will you be also going on there to rant about the Nottingham stabbings or the price of cabbage ? it is fair and acceptable for a conversation to deviate a little. But this is ridiculous and a repeat-behaviour. Edited by PalazioVecchio (18 Jun 2023 3.19pm)

It was meant as an indicator of the general tenor of the BBCs output. If AI isn't capable of determining any bias in entertainment why should anyone accept it's finding on news reporting?

I am merely responding to the diversion and the personal criticism. I didn't refer the diversion to the moderator, either in private or openly on the forum.

I'm tempted to ask it why Palace are always last on match of the day but someone could always ask if Gary Lineker is politically biased. With a predictable outcome.

Maybe he should have tweeted about it? Perhaps then the cops might have decided to actually prosecute him for something? But no. Instead, the system fails. Time and time again. And those poor people pay the price. Edited by Matov (23 Jan 2024 9.20pm)
