This author is known for its high journalistic standards. The author strives to maintain neutrality and transparency in its reporting, and avoids conflicts of interest. The author has a reputation for accuracy and rarely gets contradicted on major discrepancies in its reporting.

Bias

98%

Examples:

  • It is surprising that these models can engage in such sophisticated social reasoning without the direct embodied experience that typifies human development.
  • The study highlighted several limitations, such as the potential for AI models to rely on shallow heuristics rather than robust understanding.

Conflicts of Interest

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • New research published in JAMA Pediatrics has found a troubling association between early exposure to screens and sensory processing challenges in children. This statement is misleading as the study does not directly link screen time to atypical sensory processing, but rather finds an association.

Screen Time Linked to Sensory Processing Differences in Children as Young as 12 Months Old

Broke On: Saturday, 13 January 2024 A new study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that each extra hour of daily screen exposure per day was associated with around a 20% increased likelihood of sensory processing differences after 18 months. Children who watched any television or DVDs at 12 months were twice as likely by age three to experience these issues, which can be seen in conditions like autism and ADHD. Parents should limit their child's screen time until they reach the age of three.
