The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The author uses language that dehumanizes non-iPhone users by referring to them as 'green bubbles' and suggesting they are of less quality than iPhone users. This is an example of monetary bias as Apple has created a network effect for itself, making it harder for consumers to give up their iPhones.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Huang is quoted out of context to make it seem like he is an expert in biology and drug discovery
  • The article only mentions positive aspects of Nvidia's hardware without providing any information on its limitations or drawbacks
  • The author uses sensationalist language such as 'neural net nirvana' and 'fractal vortex'

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • Talking to Jensen Huang should come with a warning label. The Nvidia CEO is so invested in where AI is headed that, after nearly 90 minutes of spirited conversation, I came away convinced the future will be a neural net nirvana.

Deceptions

85%

Examples:

  • Huang is quoted out of context to make it seem like he is an expert in biology and drug discovery
  • The article only mentions positive aspects of Nvidia's hardware without providing any information on its limitations or drawbacks
  • The author uses emotional language such as 'coolness factor', which is not relevant to the topic at hand. This type of language appeals to readers' feelings rather than presenting facts objectively.
