Hey Moian,

I'm back from a small break. I'm glad to be back.

I met with my mentee over the weekend to discuss the future of the project.

It seems we aren’t the only developers creating a system of AI Agents to help research maintain, and develop content with the checks and balances needed to mitigate misinformation.

Although NewsGaurd is way ahead in their research, I’m happy to see an Organization actively seek misinformation created by AI to assist companies combat harmful propaganda.

This shouldn’t be something we have a third party police for us.

We will need to learn to find the red flags of AI Generated Content or have the same tools to be able to investigate whether or not a piece of content is “Real”.

This will come with some time, if at all.
