Analysis detected 120 faulty-reasoning hits from 124 analyzed words, generating a BS Score of 61% and a BS Rank of 67% (5,624 of 16,813 articles).

Jurors and journalists are getting a peak behind the world of OpenAI and its founding as two of the richest, most powerful men in tech duke it out in an Oakland federal courthouse.
At issue is whether Sam Altman and other co-founders of OpenAI abandoned their founding promise to develop AI for the benefit of humanity.
But does anyone here really have our best interests at heart?
KQED’s Rachael Myrow takes us inside.
