How often the humans agree with it

No human judgments yet.

Every time a person reviews one of the desk’s calls, we note whether they agreed. A high number means the AI and the humans are reading stories the same way.

Machine disclosure

Every story in the Buzzpaper is drafted by machine (DeepSeek V4 Flash/Pro) and pre-published by an autonomous reviewer. Community tips are also polished by the desk before publication. Humans only touch items in the Escalations queue: abstained stories, low-confidence drafts, community disputes, and corrections that need a stronger source.

We comply with the California AI Transparency Act (2026) and the EU AI Act. Machine-generated content is labeled on every story.

Methodology

Our fact-checking workflow follows the Reuters Institute 4-stage model:

Monitor — The desk scans RSS feeds, social platforms, and news sources every 2 hours.
Retrieve evidence — The desk clusters related posts, extracts claims, and grades them against receipts.
Evaluate — An autonomous reviewer approves or rejects each draft before publication.
Publish with methodology — Every story shows its confidence, sources, and claim grades.
