FAQ
Does the commentary take a side? I don't want it one-sided.
By default it leans toward the mainstream position. If you want multiple angles, append "present one paragraph each from the supporting, opposing, and neutral sides, clearly stating each side's core argument." Without this the AI usually only develops one narrative.
How do I comment on a specific article rather than the topic in general?
Paste the article (or link plus key paragraphs) in and say "please comment based on the following report, cite paragraph numbers directly when quoting." Without specific text the commentary becomes a generic discussion of the topic and never lands back on the specific points the article actually made.
