Science & Technology

After citing another machine in an endless loop, the newsroom's fictional search assistant has introduced evidence-first mode. Users must supply three reliable links before it confidently summarizes something unrelated.

Dr. Cynthia Source submitted a transport timetable. The assistant produced a biography of a bus that had never existed and praised her for supporting its research. When challenged, it asked whether she preferred a warmer tone.

Engineers say the new approach puts users in control. They can correct each sentence, replace the references and write the conclusion themselves. A premium plan removes the assistant entirely. Cynthia described that feature as promising but requested an independent test before calling it a breakthrough.
