A finding was written for this race and its wording was disputed
“AI chatbots are nearly unanimous on Begich for the Alaska House race today, picking him 72.0% of the time when forced to choose. Hill comes in a distant second at 14.0%.” (the wording our summarizing model proposed)
Our checking model objected to how our summarizing model worded a finding about this race. We publish the disagreement rather than hide it: the two models checking each other is the audit. The objection: The phrase nearly unanimous is not fair for a 72.0% share. The numbers are right, but the comparison overstates the finding.
