Out of the Blue [Apr 03, 2023, 11:22 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Finally got around to checking out ChatGPT. I tried to get it to make me a
passable Out of the Blue, but it insisted on writing about games, which lacks
authenticity. So I thought maybe it didn't "get" the site. So I asked it for a
summary. I can now confirm that this tool is 100% accurate based on this
flawless response:
Obituary: Seymour Stein dies: Music exec who signed Madonna, Talking Heads and more.

I was pleased at the flattery and impressed that it attempts to be nuanced, but most of it is generic, those parts you mention in particular. I do like that the description captures our emphasis on trying to be unbiased. But even then, that's probably at least in part derived from how I have described the site myself in various areas, rather than some objective assessment of our objectivity. I didn't dip into any interactivity, so it looks like what I got was just a very basic web-scraping.
Arguably you don't do any actual "reporting", your site is just a good collection of links to actual reporting which varies in quality. And before the knee jerk defensive reactions retorts start, I am not dismissing or saying the site isn't useful or helpful. It is. But it's a central repository of daily links, I don't see Blue or any of his 'staff' writing gaming reviews, OpEds on here unless I've been missing them for the past 20 years.
Fair enough. Again I enjoy the site for what it does, makes finding news easy which I appreciate the work that goes into it. As someone whose run a news, community site for years on very specific games, genres I can only image the work to cover everything under the umbrella of gaming daily. That said, I felt pointing out the flaws of its assessment was worthy to note as it stuck out to me as odd.
