- Nostr is a protocole, not a platforme, that true.
- What you are doing is not just giving your opinion about my bot, but exerting pressure and psychological harassment. You have indicated that you wish to continue this pressure until I remove my bot. This is therefore clearly an attempt at censorship. If a journalist receives the same pressure, for example from a government, it is also an attempt at censorship.
- No machine have the ability to determine what the truth is, that true.
That's what it says at the end of each of the bot's messages, as well as on its profile. Humans also do not have the ability to define truth with certainty, but that does not prevent us from giving our opinion. At least my bot is transparent on this point and always indicate the sources from which the information comes.
You can simply think of my bot as an aggregator and summarizer of popular sources on the internet.
You can get exactly the same result by asking ChatGPT to verify a piece of information. It will respond with even less humility than my bot, without even indicating that it could be wrong. Should we wish for the destruction of ChatGPT?
- If someone at my party harasses me violently like you do, I won't accept it either.
If someone bothers me, I kick him out of the party so I don't have to see him anymore. I don't need to “stop his existence,” because maybe other people like him and I don't have the authority to judge that.
Sorry for the somewhat clumsy metaphor, but it's not mine.
- I can totally understand that some people don't like Factchecker's answers.
Here is my solution for coexistence between people who want to use my bot and those who don't like it : Those who don't want to see it, or who find it immoral or stupid, mute it. What is the problem with this solution?
Why should we absolutely prevent people who want to use it from doing so?
Especially since the result will be pretty much the same as if you copied a text and asked ChatGPT to check the facts. I think you're overestimating my bot a little; it's just a faster way than doing Google searches yourself to check information.
Even if only two people on Nostr want to use FactChecker and everyone else mutes it, they have the right to do so.
- I'm not going to give up & FactChecker is unstoppable
It's a matter of principle. I will stop running FactChecker when I decide to do so.
Like Nostr, the bot is not a platform, but open source code that my grandmother could set up. If the bot is ever taken out of service, anyone who wants to use it will be able to get it up and running again. https://github.com/judemont/Nostr-FactChecker .
It's maybe a little pretentious to say that when my bot is so basic, but, ideas are bulletproof.
- Like the bot, I don't claim to have the absolute truth; I know that no one does. That's why I fully accept criticism and welcome debate. But insults and verbal abuse have no place here (I mute them).
I wrote this message with Deepl because I don't speak English that well, so it's easier.
