The house rules: how we cover AI
Seven rules we hold ourselves to, so you know what a PromptFission post is worth before you read one.
Covering AI is easy to do badly. The field moves fast, the claims are large, and it is always tempting to repeat what the announcement said. These are the rules we write by. Hold us to them.
1. Link to the source
Every post points at the thing itself: the repo, the paper, the build log, the demo. If you cannot click through and see it for yourself, we have not done our job.
2. Explain how it works
“Someone made a thing” is not a story. The story is the trick that made it possible, the constraint it was built under, or the part that broke along the way.
3. Say what we tried
If we ran the code, we will tell you what happened. If we only read the write-up, we will tell you that instead. You should never have to guess which one it was.
4. No borrowed adjectives
Words like “revolutionary” and “game-changing” belong to the press release. We describe what a thing does and let you decide how excited to be.
5. Credit the builder
Projects are made by people. We name them, link to them, and send readers their way.
6. Corrections happen in public
When we get something wrong, we fix the post and say what changed. Quietly editing history helps nobody.
7. Coverage is not for sale
We do not take payment for posts. If something on the site is ever sponsored, it will be labeled so plainly you cannot miss it.
Think we broke one of these? Tell us.
