selective emphasis
But will this model make a difference for everyday users who are not always coding the next big thing?
Possible selective emphasis on specific aspects of the story.
Bias/manipulation evidence
-
Source B · Confirmation bias
Image: OpenAIIt’s also a pretty good coder, as expected.
Possible confirmation-style pattern: this fragment reinforces one interpretation while alternatives are underrepresented.
How score signals are formed
Bias score signal
Bias signal combines framing pressure, emotional wording, selective emphasis, and one-sided narrative markers.
Emotionality signal
Emotionality rises when evidence contains emotionally loaded wording and evaluative labels.
One-sidedness signal
One-sidedness rises when one frame dominates and alternative interpretations are weakly represented.
Evidence strength signal
Evidence strength rises with concrete claims, attributed statements, and verifiable contextual support.
