The barrage began around midnight and continued beyond daybreak in what appeared to be Russia's biggest attack against Ukraine in weeks.

Hence, me including SpinScore link to the articles I post. Not only it evaluates each article content and not the site, but it also removes human bias element from the equation

Those glorified chatbots don't fall out of coconut trees, the fact that their very existence was designed by human hands explicitly blends human bias into them.

The belief in unbiasness is a form of ethereal idealism that is unattached to material reality and willing faith in its ephemeral existence blinds the individual to biases that disguise itself as anything but.

Your generalizations aren't helpful. I'm not even sure to understand how it works based on your comment.

If you want to say that SpinScore is a bad tool, you will need to provide some examples.

It's not that it's a bad tool, it's that

it also removes human bias element from the equation

is an impossible standard.

Depends on how you define the standard. It does what it says on the tin. No personal bias, conscious or subconscious, are not present on SpinScore as opposed to every other fact checking site/database. It only interprets text in context and checks it against primary sources, which humans are incapable of doing due to inherent biases and life experiences that shape our view.
