A Guide to Our Content: Principles of Transparency

Opiniowiki is a new kind of platform, and understanding our content requires a new kind of literacy. This guide explains what our platform is, and what it is not. Our commitment to you is full transparency about the nature and limitations of our content.

1. Our Articles are AI-Synthesized, Not Written by Human Editors

The primary articles on Opiniowiki are generated by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that reads and structures the arguments made in the user comments. Our goal is to create a neutral synthesis. However, true neutrality is an immense challenge. The AI's output is a reflection of the data it is given—the opinions of our users.

2. We Are a Map of Arguments, Not a Source of Factual Truth

Opiniowiki is designed to answer the question: "What are the different arguments surrounding this topic?" It is not designed to answer "What is the definitive truth?". The content is derived from public opinion and should never be interpreted as factual reporting or professional advice. Use our platform to understand viewpoints, not to find undisputed facts.

3. User Comments Reflect Individual Views, Not Ours

The comment sections are the heart of our platform and contain the personal opinions of our users. These views do not necessarily reflect the views of the Opiniowiki platform or its staff. We moderate for civility and adherence to our guidelines, but not for correctness of opinion.

4. Content is a Living, Evolving Snapshot

Our articles are not static. They are dynamic and change automatically as new comments are added to the discussion. An article you read today may be different tomorrow, reflecting the living, breathing nature of public discourse.

5. We Actively Work Against Manipulation, But Vigilance is Key

Like any open platform, Opiniowiki faces the challenge of potential manipulation by bad-faith actors. We have systems in place to mitigate this risk, but we believe in being transparent about the challenge. We encourage users to be critical thinkers and to use our unique source-tracing feature to verify the origins of any statement in an article.
